TypeSaver sets a temporary marker when it pastes text into the buffer.
The marker points to the position where the caret will be moved after
the pasted text has been autoindented and possible leading whitespace
has been inserted to every row. This is part of the Complete
Abbreviation feature. I originally coded (and donated) the marker
thing because it was the easiest way to handle the leading whitespace
feature. Look at the code to see how messy it got. :) I don't know
what's wrong, perhaps TypeSaver crashes between the setting and the
removing of the marker.
