There is no separation-of-concerns problem. The mark bit thing isn't some
unrelated bonus feature of pdumper. It's how the dump image *works*. To
make pdumper work differently, and worse, merely to create some kind of
fictitious separation between its component parts strikes me as a bad idea
and unnecessary work.
