I use `building=house` for most things, and `building=terrace` for an
outline of a whole terrace if I'm not doing the individual houses.
I don't like the `semidetached_*` and `terraced_*` tags at all, they
make it more annoying to map.
We seem to live happily without tagging for terraced shops and
similar, so why do it for houses?

What would make more sense would be a simple relation grouping
connected buildings that are semi-detached or terraced.
