I wonder if this can be used to display the isearch prompt while
searching the minibuffer contents? Currently the isearch prompt
completely overwrites the minibuffer contents. I imagine using
`minibuffer-message-at-end' to append the isearch prompt to the
minibuffer contents. For example, with the minibuffer:
Eval: (setq foo 'bar)
typing `C-s foo' will display:
Eval: (setq foo 'bar) [I-search backward: foo]
and `foo' will be highlighted in `isearch' face, as usual.
Not bad (but don't you mean C-r for backward search)? I like it.
Anyway, this seems orthogonal to the discussion of merging message and
minibuffer-message. Couldn't this be done today, just by using
minibuffer-message instead of message?
