IMHO it would make it easier for the user to understand why some method
doesn't work for him if the interface name had e.g. "admin" in it. I
don't see how that makes the interface "horrible".

So having a rule for each method is ok? This is quite easily doable in
the config file (although the file will become bigger and more difficult
to maintain).
