Re: `isearch-allow-scroll' - a misnomer and a bad design

    But does it make sense to think of C-u as a command in itself?  It's
    *always* used in conjunction with another command, which may exit isearch or
    not.

It's a character you can type, which can either exit isearch or not.

I think we already have too many characters that have a special meaning
in Isearch.
