Yup, I already mentioned UI mistake so you do not have to repeat it
to consume more bandwidth. We're in agreement already.

If it is used elsewhere with "sed", then that would be OK, but if it
is not with "sed" but with "grep", that's quite a different story.

I do not think 3 is needed if we do 2 and I do not think 1 would
particularly be useful *UNLESS* the code consults with the attribute
system to see what marker size the path uses to avoid crashing with
the non-standard marker-size the path already uses.
So the easiest would be not to do anything for now, with a note
about known limitations in the doc. The second easiest would be to
do 2. alone. We could do 1. to be more complete but I tend to think
that it is better to leave it as #leftoverbits.
