I checked the implementation of `bookmark-bmenu-load' and
`bookmark-load' and learned that this is already implemented: One can
C-u l from a bookmark menu buffer to load bookmarks destructively and
change the path of the default bookmark file!
Should the docstring of `bookmark-bmenu-load' should be extended as
follows to make this feature easier to discover?
