FWIW, such automatic bookmarking is also available with
Bookmark+ (has been since 2012).

You can do it buffer-locally or globally.  The bookmarks
can be persistent or temporary (temporary by default).
You can cycle among them.  You can jump to them with
completion.  (You can define the autonaming pattern used.)

Doesn't matter what other bookmarks you have - you can act
on just those created automatically, if you like.

You can define the min idle-time interval & min distance
between setting such bookmarks, e.g. to not add multiple
bookmarks too close together in time or space.

You can change any bookmark between temporary & persistent.
