Why not use the mark syntax that fast-import uses?

I didn't know it.

quoted

In fast-import we use ":n" anytime we need to refer to a mark, e.g.
":1" or ":5".

Currently, I don't restrict the mark to be a number. It can anything that
is a valid ref. Should I restrict it?

In fast-import a mark can *only* be a number.

Only for the record: fast-import uses numbers and not strings of
digits, i.e. 001 == 1, and it ignores stuff following digits, i.e.
"12a" == 12 and "abc" == 0.

quoted

Except of this, I prefer to use the colon to be much closer to the syntax
of fast-import.

Me too, but it looks like in a human edited "TODO" script we may want
to be more friendly and allow named marks.

I don't think so. There shouldn't be so much marks that a user can't
remember them.

Thanks for your comments.

Jörg.
