create alias beach_chair -> lounge_chair
is there a difference between the two? if there's none, maybe we can alias them as it appears to be the same.

While the vast majority of images under lounge_chair are currently of the beach chair/outdoor variety, there are a few that seem to be indoor furniture (post #1138609, post #1148436, maybe post #1138375 as it is indoors). I think we might want to reconsider the definition of the lounge_chair tag.
Just looking around, US usage for "lounge_chair" is used to reference either specific purpose or design. Design-wise it seems to be mostly any long chair and covers indoor and outdoor designs, while purpose-wise it seems to refer to a variety of indoor and outdoor chairs, some that are long, some that are normal types, and some that fold up. Apparently in the US both the long indoor and outdoor "lounge chairs" ended up lumped together because of shape, purpose, and both being called the same thing in the US. They're both apparently called Chaise Lounges, which is apparently a corruption of the french word Chaise Longue (Long Chair) due to a typo and was used to refer to a type of sofa. The outdoor furniture shares a similar design, and apparently also ended up being called a Chaise Lounge in the US, though apparently elsewhere they're called a "sun-lounger." The purpose is the same though, to lounge around on, so both are "lounge chairs."
post #1138609 and post #1148436 probably need a separate tag i guess. the way lounge_chair is currently used, they'll be easily overwhelmed and harder to find. maybe couch or recliner? or should we use chaise_lounge more often? or maybe a more specific term?
post #1138375 may fall as recliner (?) and the current definition of lounge_chair despite being indoors/under the shade, it's still within the context though.
or we can also revise the lounge_chair (not limited to outdoors) as umbrella for all "lounge chairs" or long chairs that support the legs. and make use of beach_chair (and related tags) as subsets instead.
