bug#32683: 26.1.50; multi-occur-in-matching-buffers defaults could be improved

[Tom Tromey]

I tried M-x multi-occur-in-matching-buffers.

First, it does not provide a default for the file name regexp.
I think it would be nice if it used the same logic as M-x rgrep.

Second, it uses the file name regexp as the default search regexp.
This is not a very good default.  Again, following rgrep and using the
word under point would be better.

Finally, multi-occur-in-matching-buffers asks for the file name regexp
first and the search regexp second; whereas rgrep and lrgrep do this in
the other order.  I think it would be nice if they were all consistent.

Tom
