Question

I see that many VIM scripts and shortcuts overwrite markers, such as this helpful tip. Is there any way to define a namespace for these markers so that they won’t collide and won’t override markers that the user may be using?

Thanks.

No, but this type of action is normally achieved by :keepjumps (to prevent automatically updated markers from changing) and using setpos()/getpos() or winsaveview()/winrestview().
