== Long-Standing 2.5 Todo - Markers fully working again in all
animation editors (DopeSheet, Graph Editor, NLA, Sequencer) ==

=== Usage Notes ===
In animation editors, marker operators will only be considered while
the mouse is hovering near/over the horizontal scrollbar (i.e. where
the markers usually appear). That means, in order to do something to
the markers, just position your cursor in line with the row of
markers, and then use the same hotkeys you'd use in the TimeLine (so,
unlike in 2.4x, no more need to hold down extra modifier keys for this
case). In the TimeLine, nothing changes, so you don't need to worry
about mouse placement there :)

=== Technical Details ===
Since early 2.5 versions, this functionality has been disabled, as the
markers were always getting evaluated first, and hence "swallowing"
all the events before the editor's own keymaps could access them.

In order to get this working again, I've had to give every marker
operator a "wrapper" invoke callback which performs some checking to
ensure that the mouse is close to the markers (vertically) before the
operator will try to be run. This wrapper also makes sure that once
the operator has finished running, that if it didn't manage to do
anything, then the editor's own keymaps get to have a go.

The vertical tolerance used is currently 30 pixels (as was used for
the borderselect operator).

=== Other Assorted Changes ===
* Gave marker operators dependent on having selected markers to
operate on suitable poll() callbacks. These new poll callbacks ensure
that there are selected markers for the operator to operate on,
further cutting down the number of places where markers may override
standard hotkeys (and avoiding calls to the wrappers too)
* Simplified some of the selection code
* Made some formatting tweaks for consistency, and in one case so that
my text editor's function-list display doesn't get confused
