FWIW (so please don't claim I'm "insisting" or arguing) -
Like I said:
That's exactly how I discovered this.
I didn't do it by accident. Someone can easily do
both tags searching and tags query-replacing, moving
from one to the other.
Clearest (at least for menu purposes) would for there
to be two separate continue commands - continue last
search and continue last query-replace.
