interface and interface-type tags
My most recent question was tagged with interface-type.
I had seen the interface tag when I was creating the question, but the usage information says
Please avoid using this tag, as it is too general (e.g. software interfaces like the ones in Java, .NET and C++, components entry points, hardware interfaces).
How does interface-type differ from interface? If there is no meaningful difference, should the two tags be merged? If there is an aspect of interface-type that makes it more usable than interface, we should update the tag description to clarify.

Yes, I have added that tag.
I tried to create a tag to match the "interface when working with objects" concept. I am not happy with interface-type because it suggests typeof(ISomeInterface), but I think it is less ambiguous than interface.
What about interface-object-type?
I am open to suggestions about better names for this tag.
P.S. SO indeed uses interface tag, but its description includes two very different usage scenarios.
