[Ardour-Users] why range markers?

[DA. Forsyth]

why do range markers exist? (ardour 0.99.3)

I thought 'need to export a range, ok, mark it with range markers, select 
said range markers, export'   nope, they're not useful for this.

I ended up putting 'marks' and using the snap to marks snap mode to select 
a range, the shift-click to select the other tracks desired in the output.
is this the correct way?
do I also have to select the master track if it contains automation in 
order to get the correct expected output?

more confusion, there is no 'snap to range markers' snap mode.
so what exactly are range markers for?
