iswitchb is an obsolete package, but isearchb is implemented on top of
it.  It should be possible to reimplement it on top of any of the
un-obsoleted completion packages (like ido), but it's a complete
reimplementation:

     37:;; employed by iswitchb).  To use it this way, add to your .emacs:

Yup; those are also solutions, but apparently the maintainers think that
iswitchb isn't very useful anymore, but people still use isearchb,
apparently.

It seems that iswitchb is still useful for one thing: running isearchb.
Thus, in fact it is not obsolete.

I suggest de-obsoleting iswitchb, unless and until someone 
fixes isearchb not to use it any more.
