Thanks to David for the tip and to Stephan for forwarding. I go take a look 
there.

My reason for beeing chritical is this:
the default implementation offers very few bookmarsk, and the user cant get 
to the name property. I typically bookmark a line or section in a long file 
to get back, and a literal name is better than the position. 

Chances are that kant will have plugins autobookmark files fx c tags, perl 
subs, you name it. I wrote a text editor once that allowed a user to have a 
file bookmarked with a regex which would also set the name/position using 
backrefs, and I find such a thing very handy.

So at some point kant will need to set a larger amount of bms in a file, and 
it will need to class them based on who created them.

Kant also offers more than 1 view of the same file, and users - at least I - 
would expect bookmarks to be available in all views of a file.

It can possibly be implemented in kantDoc/kantView, bu I find it worth 
considering if some or all of theese features should go into kwrite.
