Since marks are also places in the file it's not unnatural if
saveplace saves other places too. .

I guess it's not hard to disable this optimization if marks are
also saved.

This can be solved with a new option if the need ever arises,
and the option may not even affect the saving part (who cares
if the current location is saved along with the marks, just
one more number), only the restoring of the position is skipped
when the file is opened.
