I find it better to send a wrongly-sent mail afresh (copy+paste) than
forwarding because this forwarding looses threading-info.

the similarity IMO would mostly be that both fixtures and markers use
functions. Currently markers require non-trivial parsing code for arguments.
Whereas for the above example if you have:
@pytest.mark.blocker(n=138)
it would work because "pytest.mark.blocker(...)" invokes "blocker(...)" and
parsing of arguments including kw-arguments works naturally. By contrast, today
you have to parse "markerinfo.kwargs" and "markerinfo.args" yourself and few
plugins do it correctly.
Moreover, by forcing all marker instantiation to go through a registered
function we have a single normalizing source of documentation. We can take the
marker function's docstring and inspect the arguments. The current
documentation for markers ("pytest --markers") is often not in sync with
implementation.
