Each error descriptor is a cons (or nil).  Its car is a marker pointing to
an error message.  If its cdr is a marker, it points to the text of the
line the message is about.  If its cdr is a cons, that cons's car is a cons
\(DIRECTORY . FILE\), specifying the file the message is about, and its cdr
is the number of the line the message is about.  Or its cdr may be nil if
that error is not interesting.

The value may be t instead of a list; this means that the buffer of
error messages should be reparsed the next time the list of errors is wanted.

Some other commands (like `diff') use this list to control the error
message tracking facilites; if you change its structure, you should make
sure you also change those packages.  Perhaps it is better not to change
