Feature Request: Ability to "mark" your location in a log file

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When viewing logs, especially if I am testing something it is handy to be able 
to some how annotate the view i.e. 

log log log log log

log log log oh dear everything's gone horribly wrong!

Sincerely, Ben

Are you talking about editing the log directly from SnakeTail, or to attach a 
note to a certain line in the file, that is lost when SnakeTail is restarted ?

I guess a quick hack would be to make a "quick highlight" feature where one can 
select the line, and add the entire line to a temporary highlight list.

Another simple hack would be to attempt to append a line to the file, but this 
would most likely disturb the application being monitored.

I wasn't thinking of adding anything to the file itself, but rather to its 
(visible) in memory representation. So yes that would be lost when snakeTail's 
restarted.

Maybe add a command to the right-click context menu, which highlight the 
selected line and enter an annotate for the line. When holding the mouse over 
the line, then one would see the annotate in a tooltip.

SnakeTail ver. 1.8 adds the ability to toggle bookmarks
