You probably mean "Recompile".

I guess some specific provision for restoring more of the variables 
after "recompile" could be made inside vc-compilation-mode's definition.

Maybe it'll have to go as far as defining a separate major mode and its 
own "recompile" command with a dedicated binding, since it doesn't seem 
like 'M-x recompile' runs anything generic that would help us here.
