this is ot but another bit of over-fancification is that iirc you
can't set the mark twice successively in the same location.  you might
not think there is a need for that, but there is [marking contiguous
regions], but even if there were not, the value of predictable
behavior with no special cases is high.  special cases require callers
to special case the special cases.  i don't know why emacs special
cases global-mark-ring.
