Describe the enhancement and the motivation for it.
Easily getting lost when doing long reviews.

Please provide any additional information below.
When performing a large review (lots of files) we hardly go in the same 
order it is presented and you often have to stop in the middle to do other 
things. 

Have a way to somehow mark files. (Would be used to tag which ones needs to 
be looked at to finish the review). As in Gmail "Starred", you could even 
rotate between  3 or 4 multiple-color marks (green check, red exclamation, 
yellow warning sign). Those marks would be actionable from the list of 
files at tiny icons (top and bottom index) and directly from the top (and 
bottom?) of the diff also (as bigger icons). 

At the same time it would be nice to be able to collapse the whole "diff" 
section of a file.

The gotcha here is that these states would need to be retained and attached 
to the current user (not visible to others). 

Alternatively, just have a way to collapse a file without that state being 
stored in the database. This might be just enough as a starter for this 
feature. The idea is that you would use the collapse as a "flag" and would 
have to leave your window open over many days - over the course of that 
long review.
