`save-excursion' is defined to save&restore the mark (as well as its

But I'm having a hard time finding a piece of code where we actually
make use of this. Can someone point me to such code (either in Emacs or
in some external package)? I.e. point me to code which would misbehave
if save-excursion were to stop saving&restoring the mark (and/or its
activation status).

Hi Stefan,
See for example indent-code-ridigly.
IMO one of the most valuable functions in Emacs. Useful in all cases, where the
extend of region is changed.
Fill-commands will use this - that way updating the users mark-(stack?).
