The `evaporate' option is inherently dangerous since it reclaims the
marker object forcefully without checking that nobody else is holding on
to it, even tho it comes from a plain normal argument and the caller may
very well have kept another ref to it somewhere.
There are low-level constructs in Emacs that can crash Emacs if misused.
This mere fact is not enough reason to get rid of it.
