[Tagging] Slate roof tiles

[Evan Carroll]

I agree with others. This is not my understanding. But, let's assume it
was? So? Slate is always black. It also can't be curved.. IIRC, the mineral
structure means it always fractures on a 2d plane, the only question being
how thick it is. So if it is a subset or not for some mappers locally, it
doesn't seem to matter much. You can always clearly tell what is slate and
what it is not. And if you see the two options on StreetComplete you would
know which one to pick.

At the very least that means it's way better than other subsets.. Like
`concrete` and `concrete:plates` which God himself can't get a consensus
on, and requires destructive analysis to differentiate. =)

But sure, maybe

material:tile
tile:slate

would be better... then you could also do,

material:tile
tile:glass_solar

for the new Tesla https://www.tesla.com/solarroof, and it would also
support.

material:tile
tile:terracotta

But I'm not sure anything _needs_ to change here,
