My impression was right: they scan files immediately after edit,
and they also show tasks for all files in the project. In order
to make this managable, they apply filters automatically. For
example, when I select Build Project, they apply a "Show > Build Errors"
command such that the task view is filtered to only show errors.

The problem is that I don't think we can scan the "project" (all
mounted filesystems) for suggestions until we get 4.0 projects.
So, we can integrate the compilers module to put its content
into the suggestions view, but that will be a bit inconsistent.

My vote would therefore be to keep the compiler errors in a separate
tasklist tab, much like is already the case today. Then when we get
projects, we can revisit this and hopefully do something more automatic
than explicit directory scans to get tasks for multiple files.
