Thank you for your comments Juri. Do you have a thought on how to
implement this functionality as a package the way Stefan asked for?
Negative arguments in particular seem to be challenging. Right now I
implemented negative argument navigation by calling isearch-repeat with the
opposite functionality but that has all kinds of odd effects. For example
the search message changes, C-- C-1 isearch-forward does not go back one
matched string but rather just switches to isearch-backward and so on. I
did implement visual hints for the negative arguments because that would
require changing the way lazy highlight works significantly (lazy-highlight
loop wraps around back to the first line and at that point you can't know
the negative argument for the current match).
