No, I mean that it's OK to *assume* that any marker-adjustment we find
in the undo-region code is "right after a deletion".  Of course, that's
only relevant if that can help us simplify the code.

Right, the integer record is indeed also added by the deletion, so
we should still consider the marker adjustments to "immediately follow".

I think the first option is best (hopefully, the set of "things that can
come between the deletion and the marker adjustments" won't keep growing).
