yes.
Eventually this may become  a custom drawn pagecontrol....

What I had thought to be useful (just a draft of the idea, details still 
may ripen):
- A window that list s all the bookmarks, also shows the line of code, 
and if available the name of the enclosing function.
- This window could provide room for more than 10 "remembered" locations 
(10 can have a shortcut, and are bookmarks)

The part that I like really is to see where the implementation section 
starts. That is often where some important constants or similar are.
