Yes that's right. Parents cover their childrens' eyes at the violence
of our agreement.

I just discovered my patch has a bug. If I C-SPC first thing after
starting Emacs, an error is signaled because the mark is nil. I had
hoped the mark variable initialized equivalently except to make itself
available to Lisp. There are clearly holes in my understanding of the
initialization business. I'll debug that at a later time.
