No, I don't think so -- though it may contribute.  It's simply that a
marker in the prompt is _much_ more noticeable when your attention is
focused there.

This is a fairly important issue, BTW.  It's not that hard to
inadvertantly use a command intending for it to be used on the current
file without realizing that you had some marks set, and the possibility
for damage is great.
