Of course it is!  If you type M-x recompile (pause) C-x `, and you go to
line 42, and then (after a bit more typing) type it again and go to line
168*, now 4 times as much of your file compiles without errors.  Seems
straightforward enough to me.

Kidding!

* Actually it should be 165.  First, 41 lines compiled successfully; then
it was 164.
