I know it has been this way for some time, but I am not altogether
happy with having ESC C-s bound to something other than
isearch-forward-regexp, in any situation, and in particular in summary
mode in Gnus.  I occasionally want to do a regexp search in summary
buffers, and it's not very convenient.  (The first thing I do,
invariably, is to hit M-C-s, which isn't at all helpful.)  I haven't
noticed major clashes with other key bindings, but this one is
irritating to me.

I suppose I could rebind the key in the appropriate keymap, but it
seems that in the Emacs key binding philosophy (according to which I
try to lead my entire life), I shouldn't have to rebind a key to its
default global binding.

Is this an issue for anyone else, or do you manage to get by from day
to day without being able to search summary buffers, conveniently, for
regular expressions?
