Whichever is used, it should be consistent. I.e. either
nearest/linear/cubic or nearest/bilinear/bicubic.

The former might be preferable if we want to extend it to 3D
interpolation (i.e. use nearest/linear/cubic regardless of the
dimensionality, rather than using separate 2D/3D terminology).

Right.
