As I wrote elsewhere in this thread, I'm okay with making
dired-mark-extension unmark as well, provided that doing so does not
eliminate the possibility to specify the marker character
interactively.  We could use something similar to what "C-x C-s" does
with various forms of the prefix argument, to have the argument
control the command one way or the other.  Or any other idea, if there
are better ones.

That sounds to me like a compromise solution that should leave
everybody at least partially happy, no?
