The `evaporate' option is inherently dangerous since it reclaims the marker object forcefully without checking that nobody else is holding on to it, even tho it comes from a plain normal argument and the caller may very well have kept another ref to it somewhere. There are low-level constructs in Emacs that can crash Emacs if misused. This mere fact is not enough reason to get rid of it.
