    Ship> I marked this new variable as of 31.1 but could also be for 30.2.

If itʼs a defcustom we call it a "user option". Putting on my
wordsmithing hat:

*** New user option 'bookmark-bmenu-type-column-width'.
Specifies the width of the type column in the bookmark menu shown by
'bookmark-bmenu-list'. Default value is 8, which is backwards
compatible.


    Ship> Rationale: In one package I co-maintain, we have custom bookmark handlers
    Ship> with appropriate properties set. The limit of 8 characters for display in
    Ship> the bookmark menu can lead to cumbersome naming for handler abbreviations.

    Ship> Subject: [PATCH] Add new custom variable bookmark-bmenu-type-column-width

    Ship> This variable allows a user to control the width of the type column
    Ship> on the bookmark menu 'bookmark-bmenu-list'. The default value is 8
    Ship> which is backwards compatible.

    Ship> * lisp/bookmark.el (bookmark-bmenu-mode):
    Ship> Honor bookmark-bmenu-type-column-width when creating the
    Ship> tabulated list.

The commit message should mention the new defcustom.
