Patch 6.2.421
Problem:    Cannot set the '[ and '] mark, which may be necessary when an
	    autocommand simulates reading a file.
Solution:   Allow using "m[" and "m]".
Files:	    runtime/doc/motion.txt, src/mark.c

  m{a-zA-Z}		Set mark {a-zA-Z} at cursor position (does not move
  			the cursor, this is not a motion command).
  
+ 						*m'* *m`*
  m'  or  m`		Set the previous context mark.  This can be jumped to
  			with the "''" or "``" command (does not move the
  			cursor, this is not a motion command).
  
+ 						*m[* *m]*
+ m[  or  m]		Set the |'[| or |']| mark.  Useful when an operator is
+ 			to be simulated by multiple commands.  (does not move
+ 			the cursor, this is not a motion command).
+ 
  						*:ma* *:mark* *E191*
  :[range]ma[rk] {a-zA-Z}	Set mark {a-zA-Z} at last line number in [range],
  			column 0.  Default is cursor line.
