Re: [21.1.90]: point put at point-min in *compilation*

[Richard Stallman]

    That would be a different feature, then.
    compilation-auto-jump-to-first-error only stops the scrolling as
    a side-effect.  Its main effect is to do the equivalent of `next-error'
    when an error is spotted, so it really jumps to the source code where
    the first error was spotted.

Indeed, that is not what I thought you meant.  That seems too drastic
to me.

However, feature that would stop scrolling at the first error and
leave point there, but would not go ahead and visit the source code on
its own, might be a good third option for `compilation-scroll-output'.
