    Is there a good alternative for editing several places in the same
file at once?  E.g., a C++ header file with the class part with
declarations at the top and the inlined member definitions at the end of
the same file.  I find myself losing one of my places when I have to
switch to a different buffer and back again.

- Thanks,
  Mark
