-  A marker has two attributes: the marker position, and the marker
-buffer.  The marker position is an integer that is equivalent (at a
-given time) to the marker as a position in that buffer.  But the
-marker's position value can change often during the life of the marker.
-Insertion and deletion of text in the buffer relocate the marker.  The
-idea is that a marker positioned between two characters remains between
-those two characters despite insertion and deletion elsewhere in the
-buffer.  Relocation changes the integer equivalent of the marker.
