This is true, but if a broken subclass sets markpos to less than -1 then lots
of code lines will work incorrectly -- including `transferTo` which was the
starting point of your change proposal. So do you really only want undo the
change *here*, or is it better drop this PR and even use `< 0` in `transferTo`,
as I originally proposed?
