To quote a famous person ;-), that would really be overthinking this.

The simple solution, which I expect everyone might be able to agree
to, is to have two different commands.  And to bind them both to keys,
at least on `bookmark-map'.  Choose the default behavior you like for
the traditional key, `C-x r m'.  For the other command use, e.g.,
`C-x r M'.  Not a big deal.  Users can get either behavior at any time.

Update `bookmark-set' to check not only the case in question (same
name as existing bookmark, and no prefix arg) but also a global
variable.  Define the new command by let-binding that variable around
`call-interactively' of `bookmark-set'.
