By definition, yes: I meant to use this instead of the markers that
the char<->byte position code creates when it finds long stretches of
text without any markers in it.  IOW, this code from marker.c:

      /* If this position is quite far from the nearest known position,
         cache the correspondence by creating a marker here.
         It will last until the next GC.  */
      if (record)
        build_marker (b, best_below, best_below_byte);

(there are 4 such calls in the conversion routines).
