> Description:
> Not a bug per se, but a suggestion for improvement in how Bookmark
> displays the Type (added by commit 7c995264359824cc1aca40ca37201db5ed44e659).
> 
> Currently, bookmark-bmenu-list (C-x r l) displays a column named Type,
> which has a proper value for all handlers (e.g.: Eshell, VC, EWW etc)
> except for regular files, in which an empty string is displayed. I
> believe the current behavior could be improved by displaying a default
> value ("Files") to make the interface more uniform, explicit and to
> avoid confusion.
> 
> Steps:
> 1) emacs -Q
> 2) M-x eshell
> 3) C-x r m <RET>
> 4) C-x C-f ~/foo.bar
> 5) C-x r m <RET>
> 6) C-x r b
> 
> These steps will add two bookmarks (eshell and foo.bar) and will open
> the Bookmarks list. The Type column will have values "" and
> "Eshell". After the patch below is applied, the Type column will have
> values "File" and "Eshell".

Thanks.

Karl, any comments?
