Thanks; applied to the Emacs trunk.

As this is a user-visible change (but a good one, I think), it might be
controversial.  The change is basically what I put in NEWS:

--
*** The marking commands now report how many files were marked by the
command itself, not how many files are marked in total.
--

Perhaps somebody will want to weigh in here; feel free to revert the
commit if this is felt to be a confusing change.
