============== 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 |/-\).
