But what about things like `e'? If that doesn't push the
set to the stack before unmarking, I think the usefulness of
the mark stack is reduced significantly.
How about something simple like this:
The `* *' command toggles between a set of marks and the
empty set of marks. (I think this is a good keybinding
because (a) it is easy to type; (b) its semantics are in
some way similar to `C-x C-x'; and (c) in Ibuffer, the `* *'
command unmarks everything, which is clearly similar.)
Specifically, if there is an active set of marks, then `* *'
saves that set (replacing any previously saved set) and then
unmarks all tracks. If there is no active set of marks,
then `* *' restores the last saved set, if any.
Commands that unmark all tracks as a side effect (like `e')
would first save the set as `* *' would.
This way, `* *' will be a sort of toggling command.
What do you think?

I don't know why, but I kind of like monkeying after Gnus.
Everyone knows Gnus is cool. You know. Right?
Note: This still has not been implemented. We should probably
implement it or file a feature request in the tracker.
