I think this is something worth having. A simple method is something
like `C-u U', restore the markers that `U' stashed away earlier. Or we
could do it the Gnus way with a stack for saving sets of marks.

Dired does not remove the marks, I think. Gnus does, but as mentioned
it can save marks.

Looking at Gnus, I see another marking command I'd like for Bongo to
have: invert marks.

Thanks, this fixes a few things.

It still needs the redisplay hack I talked about, or something else
that fixes this bug. Try unmarking hidden tracks and you'll see
strange things happen! This would happen when marking as well, if
marking hidden tracks were possible.
