isearch magic space

["Chong Yidong" <cyd@stupidchicken.com>]

Some time ago, I proposed providing a magic space for ordinary isearch. 
The response was generally favorable, but my papers were not in order, so
the patch could not be applied.  My copyright assignment is settled now;
can the patch be applied, or is it too late?
