OTOH, registers can store window configurations, frameset, and arbitrary
things, so "bookmarks" would become "generalized bookmarks".... There is a
lot of overlap between the two things though and like Raman said, bookmark.el
could use some love, and this could be the chance.  I think it's clear that
completing-read UI is clearly more natural for these types of visual
feedback and confirmation things.

That said, like you, I don't use either much.  I was just getting into
registers though, for saving window configurations, but not long enough
to have built muscle-memory.
