arg-marking -- NOT a bug

Contrast these two lines in train0-15.simple.len5. They suggest that we are missing arg-marking on the RHS if the LHS is arg-marked! No: it is just that the first line was originally NP-CLR and PP-CLR, so marking was correctly suppressed according to Collins 1997. So this is just fine. (There are in fact plenty of lines where both LHS and RHS have arg marks.)
