But if you call set-mark and a non-nil dont-activate argument, you get
the same as (move-marker (mark-marker) <foo>), so this arg only makes
sense in the case where you dynamically want to choose whether to
activate the mark or not, which is very rare.

So I installed a patch that just calls activate-mark.
