I won't argue about it, but I think that as soon as a
user tries tags-searching and then tries to go back to
continue a tags query-replace, s?he will be mightily
surprised. Likewise, trying to go back to continue a
tags search after having last done a tags query-replace.
That's exactly how I discovered this.
If we had separate "continue" commands, at least from
the menus, then this wouldn't be a gotcha.
I do agree that simply having a menu item or help echo
that refers to continuing the last search or replace is
hardly the best remedy. It would be good, I think, for
some remedy to be applied.
