And that's fine - but within a C# context, when talking about the type
system, it makes to only use C# terms for their C# meaning.

I agree - if to do otherwise would be confusing. I didn't find that
definition confusing (and I'm sure you didn't either).

And if someone were trying to define the C# "as" operator in terms
using "is" but redefining the word "as" to mean something else, I'd
have problems with that too!

I'm don't see how that applies. We're not talking about defining "interface"
any more than this sentence is talking about defining "defining." We're
using an implied (and obvious, IMO) meaning of "interface" to define a C#
concept. Again, I think it would be bad if that usage lead to confusion, but
it doesn't seem to.
