Yeah, I use this sometimes. FWIW, personally, I hacked my t to a more
convenient behavior: if I hit t and there are marks, it asks me whether
any existing marks besides * shall be removed, when there are some. I
like an explicit question in this case because I tended to expect
different behavior in different situations, and mainly because I often
missed that there were any other marks, especially if the buffer is not
completely displayed when it is large. That is a bit of a pitfall, but
the default behavior may also be surprising to users because the C marks
are not very useful per se (they are sometimes, so I don't want to turn
them off, but when using t a lot, they often just get in the way).

Didn't know that. My replacements were * ! and * c SPC (marking with
SPC also unmarks).
