Indeed, Isearch uses custom completion for historical reasons,
and there is no reason for this anymore.
But there is one thing I don't understand: how packages prefer to hook
into auto-completion? Is it enough to convert `isearch-complete1' to
just `completing-read' in the minibuffer activated by `isearch-edit-string'?
