That's not a bad idea. The hard part would be finding the bookmark to
clear it (for those of us who don't map K/JUMPBKMRK on the remote--I'm
guessing somewhere in north of 90% of users for that one :).
I do plan to add multiple bookmark support***, and part of doing so will
be a UI for selecting bookmarks, so adding a "bookmark editor" would
likely be a trivial addition at that point.

***Where, actually, 99% of the required code is already there/done by
others (seemingly designed to allow such an enhancement)--it just needs
a couple modifications and a UI.
