Aside from these points (with which I agree), the addition of "as a
nonnegative integer" is unnecessary.  Point and mark are always
non-negative.  Also, it is important to keep the word "position",
because mark could otherwise refer to the mark marker.  I prefer:

  "Return the position of point or mark, whichever is smaller."
