It seems that nobody cares about compatibility with GNU Emacs. Besides
this behaviour is annoying because when I set a mark, scroll a buffer,
and decide to go to the end of buffer that overwrites my mark and I have
to start over. Also besides that you have to figure out this behavior
because manpage just says:
```
M-< beginning-of-buffer
M-> end-of-buffer
```
Should we consider this documentation bug and patch a manpage?
