It's fine to add an optional ability to say "create a bookmark that will always point to the eob/eof". As one user, I disagree that creating a bookmark at eob should automatically or by default create it as an always-go-to-eob-bookmark. IOW, as an option, I don't have a problem with it, but it shouldn't be what happens by default when you create a bookmark with point at eob. I also wonder a bit, "Why?". How hard is it to hit `M->' after jumping to a bookmark? Am I missing something wrt the use case?
