Has anyone considered making the incremental searcher command(s)
into a minor mode?  This wouldnt help the problem of rebinding
the search-delete-char, for example, but it would unify the 
interface with the rest of emacs.

The more general problem is the binding of abstract keys (e.g.
delete-char) to functions rather than binding literal keys (e.g.
\b) to functions as is done now.  Any ideas?
