    In that case, I propose just changing string search, using a variable
    search-whitespace, analogous to search-whitespace-regexp. This should
    default to nil, so that the default behavior of string search is identical
    to Emacs 21.3 and below. If the user customizes the value, he gets the
    "magical space" behavior.

I would be willing to install that.

We would need legal papers from you to be able to install your code.
Do you want to sign them?
