How is this "not having isearch know about Follow mode"? I see that
knowledge on every step of this patch, whenever you call the new
functions.
So maybe I'm missing something, but I really don't see why this
variant is significantly better than the one Stefan didn't like. Can
you explain what am I missing here?
I thought you will come up with some more generic framework for
commands to "scroll" the display by switching to the next window (when
under Follow mode), if possible. But unless I'm missing something
very important, this isn't that framework, is it?
Btw, I see no reason to introduce new functions. Instead, we could
have the original ones accept an additional optional argument.
As yet another comment, wrt this exchange between you and John:

You are right about not relying on the list, but window-next-sibling
and window-prev-sibling are available, and always will be, so you can
"trivially" use them instead of relying on a list. If you agree, then
John's question still stands, I think.
