Its purpose is just showing them, and we, ideally, need both.

Flymake is moderately large because it includes some checker 
definitions. We could extract the core to a separate file.

Anyway, yes, a minor mode that would act on the fixits inside the 
Compilation buffer might be helpful.

But that's basically ignoring the prior art in IDEs that you asked 
about, where "quick fixes" go together with in-buffer visualizations.
