save-excursion and the mark

[Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen]

Code that previously relied on `save-excursion' restoring the mark no
longer works, and that's fine.  But could we have a new form like
`save-mark' (or something) that we could just slap around forms that
previously relied on this form behaving the old way?

I was just bitten by this by the async hashcash code moving the mark
around and me kill/yanking the wrong bits of the text.
