Won't this potentially break some poor user's code out there?  There's tons of
code that you'll never see because it's private.  save-excursion is documented
to save and restore mark, so people could be surprised by this API break, and
confused by their code suddenly breaking after an upgrade.  It seems risky.

Cheers,
