[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
saveplace is great when I open a file and I'm right there where I was last time.

But sometimes I remember being at various locations in the file and I want to quickly visit some of them via the mark ring, but alas the mark ring is not restored.

The mark locations are also places in a file, so saveplace should save and restore the buffer's mark ring too, in addition to the last cursor location, so that the mark ring info is not lost.
