Then what about a prefix `C-x r b'?

C-x r b b - easy to type for users accustomed to `C-x r b',
            just repeat the last key twice;
C-x r b j - good mnemonics ("bookmark jump")
C-x r b l - bookmark-bmenu-list
C-x r b s - bookmark-set

Another variant is to use a prefix `C-x B' with the uppercase `B',
but I don't understand why there are no other C-x prefix key sequences
with uppercase letters.  Examples:

C-x B j - bookmark-jump
C-x B l - bookmark-bmenu-list
C-x B s - bookmark-set
