Stefan had some further comments about the amount of code left in
isearch-other-meta-char, but since the code alters several variables
local to that function, the proposed solution for that looked (to me) a
lot less understandable than Juri's patch.

But it seemed like everybody agreed that the feature was good, so
perhaps it should be applied now?  It probably needs some documentation,
though.
