Description

as i keep both others and me making the mistake of thinking -k and -m compound/or (even though they replace)

i propose we show a note on discarded marker/keyword expressions in the header by default as it helps people to figure their mistake

Research direction

Locate the handling of -k and -m expressions and the code that builds the test-session header. Read existing tests around marker and keyword selection before deciding where discarded expressions are reported. Done means the header notes discarded expressions by default and tests cover the proposed wording and behavior.
