Thoughts implementing this package for mark-ring

[lordnik22]

Hi

I'm using this package since some time and really like it. Thanks!

I had an idea that I liked to implement and wanted to ask for some advice, hints and tips.

I want to use the same concept but instead of the kill-ring, it should be for the mark-ring.

How much tweaking would be needed to use this for the mark-ring?

May it be optimal to abstract it in a way to work with any "ring"-datastructure?

The mark-ring feels pretty different to the kill-ring - with the kill-ring our location in the original buffer is fixed and we're offering different things to insert, with the mark-ring we'd be offering different locations in the original buffer, so as you browse the ring you'll be changing the original buffer's location.

That said, I can see how there are definite similarities between the two, and having an underlying library that allows for managing popping up the browse buffer, and switching between entries could be a good thing.

I think if I was approaching the task I would take the existing code and just change it up to get the browse-mark-ring behaviour that I wanted, then, I'd go back and look to see what could actually be shared between the two packages, pull that code out and try to make it into a "browse-ring" library that could be shared.
