But scrolling still has to occur for you to be able to see if there's
anything to read.  So, with a default of nil, you still have to scroll
the *compilation* window to see if there's anything worth reading and to
see what the progress is.  With a default of t, you only need to
intervene if you see something you want to linger on - and only then if
the compilation did not stop anyway because the something was a
compilation error - and you get the progress for free.
