This would be quite wrong.  The new bookmark is
prepended to the bookmark alist, not appended.

The point is that you can have multiple bookmarks
with the same name.  And as is usual with alists,
a bookmark closer to the front of the alist
shadows those farther from the front that have
the same name.
