In detail, RestoreMark would take a line and a set/mask (presumably
from a GetMark call) and sets all of the indicated markers at once.  A
key point to note is that, unlike multiple calls to AddMark,
RestoreMark would NOT cause SC_MOD_CHANGEMARKER-flavored SCN_MODIFIED
notifications to be issued...

   How bad is turning off SC_MOD_CHANGEMARKER notifications while
performing this code. Either through calling SCI_SETMODEVENTMASK(mask
& ~SC_MOD_CHANGEMARKER) or using your own application side flag?

Why RestoreMark?  In "programming around" the Scintilla marker system,
I often find it necessary to remove all markers from a line, do some
line inserts/deletes, and then put all of the markers back (after
deciding which is the line they should have been sticking to).

   This only does a correct restoration where you have one marker set
in each bit and are not concerned with marker handles. I'd call your
operation SCI_MARKERADDMULTIPLE or SCI_MARKERADDSET and not try to
bundle it with notification suppression as there is an existing call
for that.

Nope, I do not care about handles (or the "duplicate markers on line" case)... the no-notification thing (as a low-level "under the radar" approach) seems to fit the way I see this being used. It is true that the notifications can be turned-off or ignored, much like the whole thing can be simulated by interpreting the bits yourself and doing multiple SCI_MARKERADD calls - it just seemed a logical grouping of macro-operations to bundle.

So, if you will not go for a "no-notification" version of this, are you disposed to accept a "well-written etc" implementation of SCI_MARKERADDSET? If I need to preserve the notification behavior, I trust that *one* NotifyModify call will suffice for both the [optional] notification and the RedrawSelMargin?
