The docstring for next-error says:

    See variables `compilation-parse-errors-function' and
    `compilation-error-regexp-alist' for customization ideas.

However, compilation-parse-errors-function appears to be obsolete: it is
still supported by the compile package but only "for compatibility with
the old compile.el", and it is not documented.

I suggest that the docstring for next-error be brought up to date.
