Answer to the latter question: Every one of them. They should learn
how to use this feature.
I've never learned how to use it, and I suspect I never will. Pushing
mark when the region is a historic relic from the way region is
implemented in FSFmacs (and in XEmacs with zmacs-regions == nil), not
a feature.
As I said, we're plain lucky that our users never notice this gorgeous
feature.
