I think that a soft newline, most particularly so in the context of
longlines.el, should pretty much be a space with a display property of
newline on it, so search and replace would not even see it as anything
but space.
That could be too drastic--I don't think that commands that
normally operate on lines should ignore soft newlines.
C-a and C-e now have special commands to implement them,
but there is also C-k, C-x C-t, and probably many more.
The change I suggested, affecting only `,' in regexps, might also be
too drastic. That's why I am asking to see if people can think of
problems it could cause.
