-  The prototypical use for bookmarks is to record one current position
-in each of several files.  So the command @kbd{C-x r m}, which sets a
-bookmark, uses the visited file name as the default for the bookmark
-name.  If you name each bookmark after the file it points to, then you
-can conveniently revisit any of those files with @kbd{C-x r b}, and move
-to the position of the bookmark at the same time.

-already exists, instead of overwriting it.
