No, but a macro that he wrote, called with an argument of 0, very well
might, if I understand the process correctly. Surely a human would
write (marker-position 0). The byte-compiler used to be smart enough
to do that, now it has been lobotomized. Again, IUTPC.
I thought it was clear that that's what worried me all along.
