 The `wp_set_post_terms()` function updates the terms for a taxonomy
 assigned to a given post based on the arguments supplied.

 The second argument is `$tags`. This name makes sense when using the
 default value of `post_tag` for the taxonomy argument, but feels weird
 when any other taxonomy is passed.

 At the core, tags are just terms. Changing `$tags` to `$terms` would make
 the function more generic, interchangeable, and less confusing.
