Looks OK to me. Please check it in ASAP, and don't forget to write a
NEWS entry, and to document the keybinding in the docstring of
`isearch'.
Something that might be good to work on, after the release, is a better
help facility for C-s, to allow the user to remind himself what the
isearch key bindings are. The current `C-s C-h ? [bmk]' menus aren't
very easy to read.
