+1.
A mouseover tooltip says this:
1. Number of errors so far
2. Number of warnings so far
3. Number of informational messages so far
But `C-h m' says nothing about this (it should).
And clicking `compilation-mode' (the parent) in the `C-h m' output
shows that mode's doc, but it too says nothing about this.
