+Listing [[lst:setup-bookmark][bookmark setup]] preserves bookmark history in [[./var/bookmark-default.el][bookmark-default.el]].  To
+access the bookmark history, type:
+- {{{kbd(C-x r b)}}} src_emacs-lisp[:results silent]{(call-interactively
+  'consult-bookmark)} to jump to a saved bookmark.
+- {{{kbd(A-x list-bookmarks)}}} src_emacs-lisp[:results
+  silent]{(call-interactively 'list-bookmarks)} to edit or use the history.
+BUG: The virtual buffers of the ~consult-buffer~ command do not seem to work.
+Therefore, ~consult-buffer~ is no means to access the bookmark history (contrary
+to claims in [[info:consult#Top][consult (info)]]).
