There's plenty wrong with this implementation still. I'm actively trying things
out, and also considering combining it with

## 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.
