[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
I'm using isearch to search for something, then I use M-s o to run an occur
for my search term. This results in *Occur* being shown and in the buffer
I'm searching to be read-only. This is confusing. I think what people
intended was to make *Occur* read-only. But occur-mode already inherits
from special-mode which already does (setq buffer-read-only t).

I therefore propose to simply remove the (setq buffer-read-only t) line
from the end of occur-1 in replace.el. See attached patch.
