I am happy either way, as long as the documentation matches the actual
functionality, or at least does not describe something that does not exist.
That is why I consider the current state a blocker...  Updating the
documentation not to mention the markers at all would be quite safe in any
case. It is not confusing to not describe that feature even if it exists,
but it sure is confusing if it is documented but missing.
