In the spirit of the recently posted dired-by-date patch, I seem to
remember that it used to be that when you did M-x grep, and got your
results in the *compilation* buffer, that hitting 'e' or somehing on a
partiucular line would cause that file to be edited, and move the
cursor to the line in question (One could even do this by character -
enough information is present).  

Does someone still have the code which does this, or could perhaps
some FSF member dig it out of the code locker?
