In Isearch:
`C-M-w' deletes the last char from the search string. Following this
with `DEL' adds that char back! Is this behavior intended (a feature)
or a bug?
Seems like a useful feature, to me. But AFAICT, it is documented
nowhere.
The doc should, in addition to mentioning this, document `DEL' and
`C-M-w' together. Do not document `C-M-w' only in the context of
yanking - that makes no sense.
And that doc of both together should point out clearly what the
differences are, including the fact that `DEL' can cancel searching but
`C-M-w' never does that.
