It's easy to fix the error of a nil ‘isearch--current-buffer’ in
‘isearch-done’ (it's also reproducible by evaling just ‘(isearch-done)’).
But then with an empty search string initially, ‘isearch-query-replace’
will start replacements of an empty string.  So outside of isearch mode
it could be useful only with the last non-empty search string.
