But, as I'm not native English, if your understanding is
natural, I don't insist on adding the extra explanation in
info.
I am a native English speaker and, to my embarrassment, have been
confused. Extra explanation is useful, since the notion of marker
encompasses two different concepts:
1. a position within a buffer that relocates automatically when
text is inserted or deleted,
2. a specification of which buffer the position is within.
My problem is that sometimes, I focus on concept # 2 when the person
writing the code focuses on concept # 1 --- I should, of course, focus
on both concepts, but forget. A better explanation would help me
remember.
The two concepts cannot be separated because the position must be
within a particular buffer.
