There are many internal variables in isearch.el that have no doc strings
and no comments that would help communicate the design (intention) for
readers of the code. I wish this info were added.
At the very least, a doc string is needed for `isearch-barrier', because
it is referred to in the doc string of `isearch-fallback'. IOW, we are
using it to explain something else, yet it is an unknown.

I almost removed the mention from the doc string of `isearch-fallback'
instead, since it seemed pretty irrelevant.
But I added a doc string to the variable instead.
