I once needed exactly that and wrote some stack-handling of markers (not
bookmarks) only to find that I didn't want a stack but a ring.  The
result was mtorus:

(it was later re-written by Sebastian Freundt resulting in a much more
complex and probably more powerful implementation, but I don't really
know about the state of that version, I still use my old version.  See

You hit. The format string crumbles and turns to dust.
