If it's not for everyone, then it should arguably be provided under the
control of the config var, but that doesn't mean it should be in
a separate package or relegated to some ELisp snippets for people to
copy&paste into their init file.

Whether it better belongs alongside `isearch` or `isearch-mb` will
probably depend on details of how it's implemented.
