Those commands are very deficient without tags-loop-continue. The idea is that you iterate through many files, doing whatever you do in each one of them. If you cannot continue the loop, these commands are so much less convenient as to be almost useless. > Just how much time has passed since we've given the tags-loop-continue's > binding to xref-pop-marker-stack before this question has come up? We cannot decide that commands are unimportant just because no one yells the moment we make such changes. These are powerful commands, and it's quite expected that they are not used every day. It doesn't mean they are not used at all, or that they can be removed or ignored. > And we're not talking about it because a user complained.

Ahem... if the documentation update was done back when the code changes were made, we would be having this discussion in time, instead of doing this now.
