So, why not globally prepend the match for your very special compiler?
The matching is from head to tail ...

That's what lisp packages for some exotic languages do.  If this is not
good enough, here's what I would do: define your own nikolai-compile and
nikolai-next-error functions that just call the normal versions, but
with compilation-error-regexp-alist bound locally (with a let).  Then
you can either replace the normal keybindings with your functions or add
separate keybindings.
