This is the correct approach, IMO.  But see some minor comments below.

Here (and elsewhere in the patch) too-long lines should be broken in
two.

I'd call this 'insert_before_markers' instead.  Please also add a
detailed comment here explaining what this flag is for and where and
why used.

This commentary should also mention process.c as the single caller
using this facility in unconventional ways.

We don't have names of arguments in prototypes, only their types.
(Yes, it means the original prototype, and the ones around it, were
also wrong.)

Please also add a comment here explaining why this is done.

Thanks.
