Hmm, I can't imagine how to keep the isearch-allow-scroll feature
and other conditional exiting features like search-exit-option
without keeping the default [t] binding in isearch-mode-map
to the function like the current isearch-other-meta-char
where these conditions can be checked.

Maybe the arg KEEP-PRED set-temporary-overlay-map
can be used to decide whether to exit Isearch and
apply the key sequence to global keymaps?
