Are you arguing that isearch non-exiting commands shouldn't exist, or
that they shouldn't be able to take a prefix argument?
Neither. I am saying that the non-printing characters that are exceptions
to the rule should be as few as possible.
(The rule is that they exit Isearch and then execute normally.)
I think the existing exceptions are already so numerous
as to constitute a nuisance.
