Seeing "vs" in the title I thought it was going to be a comparison
(and wondered why no `consult-line`), but this seems a very good idea,
thanks.

Ah yeah. Should translate to consult also.

Yes maybe vs is not the right word other than that good article, I
never got into swiper due of some subtle difference I never got pass
compared to isearch

I'm still unconvinced swiper or equivalent *replaces* isearch.  I use
both.

None. It's using Emacs GUI minus furniture (menus, etc) . Has some
additional build options for macOS enabled via Homebrew's [emacs-
plus](https://github.com/d12frosted/homebrew-emacs-plus) recipe.
