all.el, grep.el, compile.el, occur.el, moccur.el, etc., they all fit the same
pattern:
- Display a list of locations in a buffer, along with description text
related to that location.
- The ability to press C-c C-c on a listed location and be taken there.
- The ability to navigate locations from any buffer, e.g. C-x `.
- Some have the ability that if the display text for a location is modified,
that change can be reflected back to the origin and made persistent.
I can see the potential for unifying all of these various modes, into a
hits.el or something. All we would need is text properties on every line with
sufficient information for traversal and persistence of changes. Then we
could do away with a lot of duplication (even within core Emacs as it stands
today).
