bug#39293: [PATCH] Base bookmark-bmenu-mode on 'tabulated-list-mode'

[Drew Adams]

BTW, I already lived through this with buff-menu.el.

My library buff-menu+.el offered features it didn't.

But unlike Bookmark+, it wasn't such a big deal that
I cared to bother about it.  So buff-menu+.el doesn't
work with Emacs > release 24.1.

Not a big deal, in that case, and tabulated-list
mode is, in fact, a reasonable fit for the buffer
menu, which is a small feature with few complications
or bells and whistles.

But you'll notice that ibuffer.el has _not_ been
stuffed into the tabulated-list mold.  Why not?
It certainly could be.  But it's more feature-rich
than buff-menu.

(I don't have an ibuffer extension library, so I
won't scream when someone decides to clean house
and shove tabulated-list down ibuffer's throat.)

The difference with Bookmark+ is that ibuffer.el
is part of Emacs proper.  Though Bookmark+ has
users, their complaints wouldn't have the same
effect as the complaints of ibuffer users.
