I would like to re-use the marker from the command line in fixtures or helper functions that install the client. I understand how to get the original command line argument from a request object passed to the fixture, but I'm wondering if there is a way to get access to an already-parsed list of markers,  for my convenience.

request.keywords maps markers names to MarkerInfo objects which you can iterate
on (there might be multiple same-named markers) and access args/kwargs respectively.
