This is useful but unnatural comparing to clean user interfaces I have seen
that have an option to skip to the next file, and additional buttons like
"Yes to All" and "No to All".
Currently in Emacs calling tags-loop-continue can be hardly described as
a clean way to resume query-replace. And it also doesn't work in
single-file context which would be confusing.
