Perhaps naively, I do not see why.
A small number of strings have predefined meanings.
Just keep documenting that and then test if the
provided string is in this set.
Otherwise, use the provided string.
This seems very nice.

If that is too implicit, then adding a markerstr keyword argument
seems the right way to go. It would override the marker argument,
and any string could be used, getting rid of the above problem.
