Thanks to all the people who've made suggestions: let me restate my
question: I'd like to know if anyone has an elisp function handy that
behaves like isearch-forward-regexp, but as I type the search string,
it replaces spaces with the regular expression for arbitrary white
space.  I *know* I could type the regular expression each time, but
I'm looking to avoid that.

thanks!
