Re: query-replace-regexp does not use isearch-open-invisible properties

[Richard Stallman]

    For being able to do sensible searching through invisible overlays,
    the properties isearch-open-invisible and
    isearch-open-invisible-temporary are available.  Exactly the same
    problem occurs with query-replace and its ilk, so it would be more
    than reasonable if query-replace used the same functions and
    properties for making the text visible while searching and replacing.

This seems like a reasonable feature.  Would someone like to do it?
