Hi, I'm not sure this should be treated as bug (and can be fixed), but
still I find it inconvenient.

- emacs -Q
- Open new buffer in text mode
- Type "foo C-q C-i bar"
- Now, with point at "foo", isearch for tab character works: "C-s C-q C-i"
- But zap-to-char doesn't: "M-z C-q C-i RET" displays "Wrong answer"

Thanks.

Done, closing.

Actually, it's still used at one place.  We could get rid of that use as
well, but I haven't bothered (yet :-).
