Yes, you are right, but I think it is better to clarify it somehow
because from my point of view that definition feels like logic in patched
version.
But maybe my non-native English prevents me from understanding it correctly.

In my opinion, it is better to add some clarification like "this marker
affects only other steps which were launched before this step or during its
execution".

I'll think about it, but currently it is stabilized using "notices"
and, you know, more changes - harder to merge :)

Also, I'll try one more time to stabilize it without "notices" - maybe I'll
get some insight.
Anyway - I'll ping you in that thread [0] (you're already in recipients) or
bring it here.

Best regards,
Mikhail.
