I mean that the bookmarks are grouped under various sections, and I can
hide / unhide the sections by pressing return when the point is over the
group header, and can jump to headers by M-n / M-p, things like this.
Perhaps Bookmark+ already provides this kind of ability? In that case I
need to play with Bookmark+ then. :)

I see. Okay. :D
