That's true, but, as you wrote, the user has to come up new names. This
is done automatically in bm-bookmarks, which inserts the corresponding
line as the name. The disadvantage is that bm-bookmarks can't easily
bookmark blank lines.

It seems to me that all the bookmarks, bm, built-in (including
emacs-28), bookmark+, have disadvantages. Personally, I would use
bookmark+ if were not for the fact that it writes unprompted to ~/.emacs.

Best wishes,

Colin Baxter.
