Comment (by markjaquith):

 I think this approach could work nicely! Solves the weird cases in the
 wild without introducing special case handling to our generic terms
 functions.

 @juiiee8487 I think we can simplify that even further... `get_tag_link()`
 could just call `get_category_link()` since we'll be removing the only
 difference between the two functions!
