I wanted to reclaim some keys that were set in isearch-mode-map, and I wanted to do it by making sure they were undefined, so that another keymap would override them. To be clear, these keys were bound by a 3rd party library, not by default.
It appears to be something special in isearch-mode. I thought M-[ijkl] were unbound, but they're actually bound to isearch-other-meta-char. If I bind to that, then everything works as intended.
