Position-registers and bookmarks should be made to work in such cases
as well. I think a somewhat unified approach (also unified with the
help-xref-stack) would be welcome.
When I say unified, I mean at the implementation level. Every "view"
such as an info-node, a help item, an email, ... should set
a `here-is-how-to-find-me-back' variable (that variable is called
`help-xref-stack-item' in help-mode).
This extension of mechanism would be coherent, but I think it is not
the right place to direct our effort. We could take care of this bug
much quicker by making it an error to set a bookmark in Info mode. It
is not ideal, but not a big deal. Other improvements in etc/TODO
would make far more difference in terms of the user's benefit. Would
people work on some of them?
