My basic question "how are these markers used?" is still unanswered. You seem to assume that saying "in addition to regular directory markers such as .git, .hg" explains it, but it doesn't, because how the "regular directory markers" are used is still a mystery. And the purpose of the markers according to the doc string, viz.: List of additional markers to signal project roots. doesn't help enough, since "signal project roots" is too vague and abstract.
