It is always a marker, isn't it? Some other parts of simple.el assume it
always returns non-nil. I'll remove the nil check.

Huh. I just mechanically translated the original save-excursion C code.
Doesn't that code have the same mismatch between the comment and the
behavior?

  /* If mark is active now, and either was not active
     or was at a different place, run the activate hook.  */
  tem = XSAVE_OBJECT (info, 3); // saved-mark-active
  ...
  if (! NILP (tem))
    {
      if (! EQ (omark, nmark))
	run_hook (intern ("activate-mark-hook"));
    }
  /* If mark has ceased to be active, run deactivate hook.  */
  else if (! NILP (tem1))
    run_hook (intern ("deactivate-mark-hook"));

I'll change the code to match the comment.
