I thought this was a user option, but I see now that it is not. (I know that vanilla Emacs refuses to let users toggle an option during Isearch, even though that lets them perform subsequent searches also using the new value.) So why does the toggle command initiate search as well? And if that is by design and not a bug, perhaps it should be documented as part of the command behavior (it does not just toggle the variable value). `M-x isearch-lax-whitespace' starts searching backward, with this message: Pending literal I-search backward: Oh, and that happens each time I "toggle" the value. The value changes (correctly), but the search initiated always shows that backward-literal-search message.
