What is meta? ×  I do not think there is value in
differentiating and . I note there is a distinction between
"int" (limited range, overflowing) and "integer" (abstract
mathematical concept)...but none between "float" and "floating-
point" (perhaps there should be "real-number"?)  There are some
questions with titles to the effect of "is there a difference
between bool and boolean". But they seem to be language-
specific, and I doubt there's much discernment in using the tags
in the general case. Examples of the few specific
differentiating discussions, which I think would be fine tagged
merely by "boolean" and the appropriate language tag:  What is
the difference between bool and Boolean types in C#  Is there
any difference between BOOL and Boolean in Objective-C?
difference among bool, boolean and Boolean in java/android
Sidenote: I am asking this question here in part to draw
increased attention to the rather silly requirement of having 5
reputation in this tag to use the automated tag synonym
