I would love to see some sort of magnified view around the current
frame.  Not of adjacent marks, but rather a certain distance ahead of
and behind the current frame.  My editing session usually starts with
loading the commercial skip list, then I iterate through all marks and
verify they are really at reasonable cut points by jumping back a
couple of seconds and then forward a couple more seconds.  If I had
such a magnified view, I could save all that extra jumping around.
I'm not sure whether the distance shown from the current frame should
be 1x the current jump distance, 2x, 0.5x, or what.
