I don't get what you mean... ("unfolded", "should choose a user
interface you want")

I have not really the time to do that, that's why I hoped that you
could do it better and faster than me by improving your existing
code...

I'm really sorry, I still do not get it (I can assure you there is no
unwillingness from me). What do you mean by 'differentiate by'?

I don't think the naming is so bad... I think it is what most people
would expect, and it's simple to use. When you have a ui (user
interface) tag associated to a package, people expect the package to
contain a program that is a user interface, and that's all.
