I think one misunderstanding is about the use of bookmarks. In 1.4,
the use I had for bookmarks was when working in two different places
of a document. Then it was useful (maybe for a short time) to be able
to switch between one and the other with a simple key. Setting them
simply was useful too. The fact that these were just number was not a
problem since it was a short-term task. In this point of view, the
main benefit of your new code is that bookmarks are now cross-buffer.
Having 20 entries or saving is not useful, and the new FIFO is not
better than the previous vector.

>From what I understand, your view of bookmarks (which was requested by
several persons) is more like a web browser. In this view, there is a
need to organize the bookmarks and be able to tell what every bookmark
is for. However, I think we will need a better UI (a bookmark manager)
to make this completely useful. This is not 1.5 stuff IMO.
