Okay, but if I remove this line, then all calls to
minibuffer-lazy-highlight-setup will require a with-minibuffer-setup
hook. And this will be awkward:
(minibuffer-with-setup-hook (if isearch-lazy-highlight
#'minibuffer-lazy-highlight-setup
#'ignore)
(read-from-minibuffer "Something: "))

Well, there's a package for that on ELPA (isearch-mb), so extending
isearch-edit-string to do that seems superfluous now?

By the way, this is a byproduct of that long discussion that led to
isearch-mb, so it was not all in vain :-).

Yes, the user can set minibuffer-lazy-count-format to nil to get rid of
the lazy count.
Concerning query-replace, why would anyone want to have lazy highlight
during the perform-replace loop, but not earlier? I'm not a fan of
adding a custom option here, not because it would be hard, but because
it seems totally unnecessary.
