Hmm, where would you like the info to be stored? Inside the file, using 
some special syntax that's alien to other editors and compilers? Or in 
a different location, which would mean the bookmark data could be 
corrupted by editing the file in a different editor. This issue is 
clearly not as simple as it sounds, because TM works on plain text 
files, in contrast to a custom file format.

IMO, bookmarks cannot be implemented properly (go ahead Allan, prove me 
wrong :-). Automatic bookmarks (that "boomark" each line matching a 
certain pattern), would be much more useful.

That way, I could still bookmark arbitrary lines by including the 
pattern in a comment, for example. It's not so differen from using 
special syntax to store the information inside the file, but then I get 
to decide on how to embed it, depending on what I use the file for.

HTH,
