Do you think it would be possible to use the existing
infrastructure of bookmark.el, so for instance, to save
a place in an Info manual, saveplace.el could call
`Info-bookmark-make-record' and to restore it with
`Info-bookmark-jump'.  This would be better than adding
a third hook for saveplace (the second existing hook
is desktop-specific like `Info-desktop-buffer-misc-data'
and `Info-restore-desktop-buffer').
