It seems that I know internals of TeXmacs to badly. I give up my attempt to add 
bookmarks to TeXmacs.

Instead I will describe what other developers may do:

Create under "Edit" menu "Bookmarks" menu. This menu should contain:
- "New Bookmark" (asks for bookmark name).
- "Go Bookmark" (with list of all bookmarks).
- "Move Bookmark" (with list of all bookmarks). It should move the bookmark to 
the current position in the text.
- "Remove Bookmark" (with list of all bookmarks).

Moving bookmark should erase all bookmarks which have the same name as the 
bookmark to be moved and insert new bookmark with the same name. It should be 
an atomic operation in terms of Undo history.

"New Bookmark" should also erase all bookmarks with the same name (if these 
exist). There must be always maximum one bookmark with the same name.

We may also add some bookmarks menu to a toolbar. I'm not sure what exactly it 
should be.

Bookmarks are simply<bookmark|NAME>  tags where NAME is the name of the 
bookmark.

A bookmark should be visible if "Document>  View>  Informative Flags>  
Detailed" is on.


Don't give up when you are forced to slow down.

Just be patient and use as much as works. I want to use bookmarks so post as far as you have with a "to do" list and we'll slowly fix it.

Stick it on github or something too.
