The way I am imagining this is it's sorta like regular highlighting,
only instead of doing it with just yellow you have a whole bunch of
pens.  So then you can go back and say "Do X to all the bits I marked
red".  Does that make sense?

Except of course, with ZigZag, the "colours" are m.1 m.2 ... etc.


The part I'm not sure about is the marklist part ... I feel like I'm
being dumb.   "A separate list on d.marklist" -- how do I do that?


Also, what keys would I set it to?  Or no keys at all?   At the moment
I just have M and m mapped to marking and unmarking in m.1.
