Remove accidental changes of March 4. Fix backing up when a regexp isearch is made more general. Use symbolic accessor functions for isearch stack frames to make usage clearer. (search-whitespace-regexp): Made groups in documentation shy (as is the group in the default value). (isearch-fallback): New function, addresses problems with regexps liberalized by `\|', adds support for liberalization by `\}' (the general repetition construct), and incorporates behavior for `*'/`?'. (isearch-}-char): New command, calls `isearch-fallback' with arguments appropriate to a typed `}'. (isearch-*-char, isearch-|-char): Now just call `isearch-fallback' appropriately. (isearch-mode-map): Bind `}' to `isearch-}-char'. (isearch-string, isearch-message,string, isearch-point, isearch-success, isearch-forward-flag, isearch-other-end, isearch-word, isearch-invalid-regexp, isearch-wrapped, isearch-barrier, isearch-within-brackets, isearch-case-fold-search): New inline functions to read fields of a stack frame.

If you think you may have found a bug in GNU Emacs, please
read the Bugs section of the Emacs manual for advice on
(1) how to tell when to report a bug, and
(2) how to write a useful bug report and what information
it needs to have.

There are three ways to read the Bugs section.

(1) In a printed copy of the Emacs manual.
You can order one from the Free Software Foundation;
see the file etc/ORDERS.  But if you don't have a copy on
hand and you think you have found a bug, you shouldn't wait
to get a printed manual; you should read the section right away
as described below.

(2) With Info.  Start Emacs, do C-h i to enter Info,
then m Emacs RET to get to the Emacs manual, then m Bugs RET
to get to the section on bugs.  Or use standalone Info in
a like manner.  (Standalone Info is part of the Texinfo distribution,
not part of the Emacs distribution.)

(3) By hand.  Do
    cat info/emacs* | more "+/^File: emacs,  Node: Bugs,"

Please first check the file etc/PROBLEMS (e.g. with C-h C-e in Emacs) to
make sure it isn't a known issue.
