I just found this remarkable sentence in the user manual:

   This works by treating the matches reported

Emacs contortionism knows no bounds.

That's just silly wording. If "as if they were errors" is a problem, we could rename `next-error' to `next-location', and all other functions and variables accordingly.

I don't think it'll change much in the user experience, though.
