Winnow `compilation-mode' results by matching or excluding lines from the results. Normally these buffers are `read-only-mode', preventing the use of editing commands, but `winnow-mode' commands inhibits this to apply `flush-line' or `keep-lines' on the command output. As the edits are to the buffer, `recompile' is the recommended way to regenerate the search. The main use case for this is filtering `ag-mode' search results in the buffer to separate the wheat from the chaff.
