I don't see the problem here, surely some users would want to ignore
bookmarks' positions.  There isn't a similar built-in library that
doesn't save position so I feel it should be an option provided by
bookmark.el without the user needing to define their own handler.

Okay, well I've attached that patch here.  I understand this is skipping
over one of the best features of bookmarks, but I still think it's a
valuable option even without the use of save-place.
