make operator maps such as ib not change jump list

Hello,

In a file with the content

Oui (Non)

and the cursor on `O`, after typing

m`foyib``

the cursor is on `o`.

But because `:h jump-motions` does not list the operator command `ib` as one that changes the jump list, one expects that the cursor
is instead on `O`.

Usecase: For example, sometimes it is convenient to paste, on the current line, text from somewhere else in the buffer . Then hitting `m'`, moving to the text, yanking, say by `yib`, and returning by `''` is convenient to type and does not override marks.

There's the work-around :onoremap i" :keepjumps normal ib<cr> but this message is about asking if Vim should not default, according to the documentation at least, to this behavior?!

Best regards

Enno
