Correct.

Whereever the end of the currently used space, calling a marker word will
free everything from the end to (and including) the marker word.

When defineing

   marker -foo1

calling "-foo1"  does reset the relevant pointers to the positions
known when defining the marker. Reusing the "free" space then just
overwrites, what was there before.
