TeX uses "(<filename>" to say "I'm now beginning to process <filename>" and
then ")" to say "I'm done processing the current file, popping to the
previous one".  So you can have messages like

     (file1 (file2 (file3

     L. 321 Error blabla

     foobar)))


The first line has thus 3 messages which compile.el should notice.
I'm sure there are other examples,
