Thinking more about shell-bookmark-jump, if the default changes to
shell-no-select, it would break bufferlo bookmarks that contain shell
bookmarks.  Bufferlo currently passes #'ignore as display-function (via the
advice I discussed earlier).  We'd need to come up with a way not to break
those kinds of use cases.
