I didn't read the docstring of the function, which says:
Move forward across a preprocessor conditional, leaving mark behind.
A prefix argument acts as a repeat count. With a negative argument,
move backward across a preprocessor conditional.
What does "leaving mark behind" mean exactly here? It seem to mean
"setting the mark at point, and then moving the point". At least it
is the behavior I observe.
But this behavior is undesirable (IMO - this is a movement command.
whats the point of setting the mark here?), and inconsistent with
analogous movement commands such as `forward-list'.
