I wrote it because I needed it, otherwise I wouldn't have suggested it,
hoping others to do. And I assume others do, since projectile has a
similar command (projectile-compile-project).

you don't mind me asking, how do you invoke compile or related
functions? If I'm doing it the "wrong way", maybe it might not be worth
applying this patch.
