  By soon, I mean that I will check-in a correction later this evening
  when I get a chance to look at the problem.  See
  <http://www.jedsoft.org/jed/svn.html> for information about
  obtaining the latest snapshot of the development version.

  I would hope not, but yes there may still be little problems here
  and there.  The most notable problem is that the regular expressions
  do not fully support UTF-8.  For example, "." is supposed to match a
  single character, but because of the lack of UTF-8 support by the
  regular expressions, "." will match a byte.  More many things this
  distinction will not matter.

  If that instant feedback is useful to you then it is an advantage.
  Personally, for me it is an annoyance.  For that reason, I never use
  the isearch_* functions and just stick to search_forward/backward.
