Description
while tracing a function call flow, we can go up the call-stack via the "cscope-pop-mark", once that is done, the popped mark is lost.
it would be nice if we could have a 'queue' kind of semantics where the call chain can be traversed backwards and forwards as well.

Research direction
Start by reading the cscope-pop-mark command and the existing call-stack navigation entry points. Define the expected backward and forward traversal behavior for the call chain, then verify that navigating in either direction preserves the relevant marks and does not lose history.
