Please don't revert it. Fell free to add an overlay, but the overlay will
have its own problems, most importantly: how can we choose face attributes
that make the text more visible but still legible, even in the various
possible choices of foreground/background colors for the default face, for
the compilation-file-error-face (or whatever the face's name is), ...
Given that RMS just changed the default context to 0 lines (thus getting
back to the old behavior), there's actually no more work that has to be
done. If you want overlay faces, feel free. I personally prefer the less
intrusive arrow.

I don't think we should worry about this case. The old compile.el did not
pay any attention to it and noone was bothered AFAIK.

Yuck. I don't want Emacs to split my windows just because it thinks that
maybe I don't want point moved in one of them.

There's nothing to be done with it for modes using compile.el. It's for use
by modes which don't use compile.el but want to hook into C-x `.
