I think that defining it using the more versatile word marker instead of
mark would have been better.

Yes it does use 'mark'.  I assume because marker was unsuitable (marker
words vanish).  EMPTY (discard all words since the last 'fence') has a long
tradition and IMO easier to use than the alternatives.

I still have FENCE as a USER word. I think I'll add EMPTY and then maybe
noforth's SHIELD.
