Emacs 29?  That way we have a chance to wait for the new less

WDYT?

Sorry if I missed the previous conversation on this (and I don't know if I qualify as a long-time user of bookmark.el), but this new default took me a bit by surprise.

To give you more context, I mostly bookmark directories (usually remote ones). These bookmarks point to Dired buffers so at first I could not understand the highlighted line. Since it didn't give me any useful information I set the new option to nil.
