Here's a better version of this patch. Rather than a proxy object, it 
just sets the 'fringe' property on the defcustom, which the rest of the 
bookmark code can then use like a "regular" fringe bitmap (essentially, 
it's just an alias to a real fringe bitmap). I also added a 
'fringe-custom-set-bitmap' function that anyone can use as a :set function.

This should be general enough that it could be used wherever anyone 
wants to allow users to use Customize to change the fringe bitmap that 
gets used for a particular purpose. Potentially, it could even be used 
for *every* use of a fringe bitmap. That would let users pick icons they 
like for a particular purpose based on their general description (e.g. 
'right-triangle'), but they could also independently adjust the bitmaps 
(e.g. redefining all the fringe bitmaps to be larger for high DPI 
monitors). For the latter case, maybe users could download a package 
from ELPA to do that.

Subject: [PATCH] Make the bookmark fringe icon look like a bookmark

* src/fringe.c (large_circle_bits): New variable.
(standard_bitmaps): Add large_circle_bits.

(bookmark-fringe-mark): ... this.
(bookmark-fringe-mark): Rename this fringe bitmap to...
(bookmark-mark): ... and change it to look like a bookmark.
