Compiler event constructor takes source parameter and handler parameter. I inspected my code and majority of handlers are the same, navidate to a line in the source. Therefore constructor taking source and line would be usefull removing a lot of boilerplate code from clients. Solution can appear also as a static utility method.
Why is it backward incompatible?
You are asking for changing existing ctor.
No, adding a new one. Or (may be better) to add utility class serving the common navigate to line case handler.
There is static getDefaultCompilerEventHandler on CompilerEvent. I do not know why I missed it. May be I expected it at CEH.
