Ok. That is equivalent to my Emacs package, at least in general
functionality. I wonder if they cover the same list of errors.

Is it bound to a key? 

More importantly, how do I add new errors to the list of things that
can be fixed? That's really the power of Emacs. Hmm, I guess they'd
say "edit the Ada source for GPS and recompile". Maybe I'll try that
someday :).
