My patch is ~200 additions, 50 deletions, and this also includes lazy
highlight and lazy count for the good old `isearch-edit-string'.

Alan, I am very much looking forward to your critique of my proposal,
but up to now I'm having a hard time to relate what you say with what's
actually done.  May I suggest you to try it out?  The standalone package
version is very easy to test, just load the .el file and activate
`isearch-mb-mode': https://github.com/astoff/isearch-mb/
