I don't think that being able to restore the cursor position when undoing
a marking action is enough reason to add these extra functions.  For one,
I would never use them, wouldn't be able to remember their keybindings,
and would always just use <Shift+End>, <Ctrl+Shift+Down>, and the like.
And, when marktolineend and such becomes an undoable, it will feel weird
that just marking a letter or a word is not undoable.
