Right now the logic is based on buffer visibility, I think. next-error
supposed to be DWIM so the complexity is on the software side (and
messy) to keep the user experience simple. For me, it Just Works
currently (I use Occur and Flycheck a lot, compile and grep/git grep
less) so I've been pretty happy with it. I'm sure it can be improved :)
