My understanding of the current consensus is "let's not".
That's based from the discussion on whether defining 'number' as 'int
| float' would be worth doing, mostly because adding aliases don't
provide much value, and once you've started adding some, where do you
stop? e.g. if we defined 'number' why not also define 'scalar'?
The value for interfaces is even lower than other types, as it's
already possible in userland to define your own combination types:
interface MatrixMath extends __AddInterface, __AddSubInterface,
__AddMulInterface {}
as interfaces can extend multiple other interfaces at once.
