============== AnimatedMarker
AnimatedMarker cycles through characters to show a spinner.
Reach for it for indeterminate work where there is nothing to measure a
percentage against, just a signal that the process is still alive.
Unlike Bar, it does not grow or fill: it replaces one character each
redraw. markers sets the cycle of characters (default |/-\).
