3. Why should this feature be limited to _incremental_ searches? I
don't think it should. The documentation states this limitation (see
[1][2][3]) but according to the tests I've done, non-incremental
searches also take `search-whitespace-regexp' into account.
-----------
[1] Docstring of command `isearch-forward'.
[2] Docstring of variable `search-whitespace-regexp'.
[3] Info node "(emacs) Regexp Search".
