I thought ‘isearch-char-fold-search’ might be useful as an internal
variable to propagate its value to ‘isearch-occur’ (to check it and
not display a gibberish regexp in the *Occur* header).  But maybe
after renaming ‘isearch-word’ to a more suitable name like
‘isearch-regexp-based’ it could be used for the same purpose.
