Re: [Nano-devel] alternative anchoring: allowing to set multiple "bookmarks"

Since this expands on what I pointed out earlier with regard to multiple
bookmarks...

For the record, these four things I've done fairly often when editing
nano myself.  In order to keep some parts of the code visible when it
applies to multiple other parts of the code, I currently have to either
search over and over (or use "Go To Line Number") for the same things,
or open the same file multiple times (sometimes in different buffers in
the same terminal window, sometimes in different terminal windows),
which can get rather confusing.
