correct.  f and b are for forward and backward.  for the local mark ring,
it will go to the next or prev mark in the buffer by position in the
buffer.  not a history command per se.

locs, suppose you were in one place, 0, and then you went to a, then back
to 0 with l, then went to b.  now you have a branching point at 0.  you can
do n and p to choose between a and b -- actually  moving to them with a
message is an option here as is showing their lines in a visualizer.   n
and p could also cycle through 0 for convenience if that's not too
confusing [a message can notify]. a command like l can also be used to go
back to it.

so the f and b thing has nothing to do with history; it is just navigation
in the buffer [if local ring] according to the sequence in the buffer, akin
to m-tab in org for links.

l and r are like in info, navigating history. n and p choose different r
locations for the case where there is more than one r.
