The mark-sexp command recently acquired the (very nifty) feature that
repeating the command extends the selection (so C-M-SPC C-M-SPC marks
two sexps).
WIBNI the other mark-foo commands behaved similarly?

That would be consistent. Want to write it?

I have now consed up something. What do people think?
Things I've noticed:
* The extension feature doesn't work if one calls the command via
M-x. I came across this problem because mark-end-of-sentence
doesn't have a keybinding by default. But mark-sexp behaves the
same. (Presumably, this-command or last-command is exit-minibuffer
or the like, rather than mark-end-of-sentence.)
* Doing C-M-SPC multiple times pushes multiple marks on the mark
ring. But maybe the user expects C-M-SPC C-M-SPC to only put one
mark on the mark ring, like C-u 2 C-M-SPC would have done?
* If mark-page is called with an argument, it doesn't mark more pages.
Instead, it marks _other_ pages. I didn't change that command, as
it is not clear to me what should happen:
Should C-x C-p C-x C-p do the same as C-u 2 C-x C-p? That would
make sense, in a way.
Or should C-x C-p C-x C-p mark the current page and the next page,
ie, mark two pages? That would also make sense.
* I kind of expected the prefix arg to be sticky. That is, after
invoking M-- C-M-SPC to mark the _previous_ sexp, I expected further
C-M-SPC (without M--) to continue marking "in the same direction".
(a) (b) -!- (c) (d)
If you put point at the position indicated with "-!-" and do M--
C-M-SPC C-M-SPC, nothing will be marked. If you do, instead, M--
C-M-SPC M-- C-M-SPC, then (a) (b) will be marked.
* The implementation for mark-paragraph looks very different from the
implementation for mark-sexp, mark-end-of-sentence and mark-word.
Not sure if this is a problem.
* The docstring for mark-sexp refers to forward-sexp. Would it be
better to make it stand alone?
* The docstrings for mark-word and mark-end-of-sentence don't mention
what negative arguments do.
Oh boy. I write such trivial extensions and you guys have to spend
so much time on discussing it with me. I wonder whether that means
that I'm a nuisance rather than help. But I don't know what else to
do but ask -- I want to do it right!
I know that the NEWS file needs to be updated. I guess the Emacs
manual also needs to be updated. If I get the go-ahead, I'll do that
as well.

Here is another version. This version also does mark-defun, and
modifies etc/NEWS and the emacs manual.
Sorry, Pavel, for munging your name in the ChangeLog file.
Okay to commit? (With the right ChangeLog file.)

* Doing C-M-SPC multiple times pushes multiple marks on the mark
ring. But maybe the user expects C-M-SPC C-M-SPC to only put one
mark on the mark ring, like C-u 2 C-M-SPC would have done?
Definitely it should put only one mark on.
* If mark-page is called with an argument, it doesn't mark more pages.
Instead, it marks _other_ pages. I didn't change that command, as
Good. That command is not in the same class. mark-paragraph and
mark-defun should not be changed either.

OK.

No? I've fallen very much in love with the feature, already.
In fact, maybe it would even be useful for mark-word to extend the
selection from mark-sexp and so on. I imagine I would like it.
(Only when transient-mark-mode is on.)

I have now committed the patch that does this. To be specific:
* mark-sexp has been changed so that it doesn't push a second mark
when hitting C-M-SPC the second time. Instead, the first mark is
moved.
* mark-word now does the same as mark-sexp, more or less.
* mark-defun and mark-paragraph also support the extension feature,
but these two still push multiple marks. (I didn't know how to turn
that off, and I don't think it's a really serious problem.)
I hope that this was the right thing to do.

Could you possibly send patches in a way that avoids doing
quoted-printable encoding on them? We have a way to decode that, but
its consequence is that we cannot simply read the patch in the message
itself.

The change looks good now. I've concluded it is ok to include
mark-paragraph in this change, as you have done.
