+## Combining with mark-multiple
+
+Right now you can go from multiple marks to multiple cursors with C-g.
+
+The other way around is a bit more tricky:
+
+ * What to do about overlapping marks?
+ * Expanding the marks should be possible, for instance using `mark-word` or
+   `expand-region`
+ * Killing or copying needs to keep a kill-ring for each cursor.
+
+So basically `mark-multiple` isn't ready for prime time as a full blown multiple
+marks library. For this to work as expected, I think parts of mark-multiple
+needs to be rewritten, and possibly integrated into multiple-cursors.
+
+For now, mark-multiple is an excellent tool to place your cursors where you need
+them to be.
