Just as web browsers provide an option to choose between opening pages
in a new tab or in the same tab, and similarly to the Emacs option
`pop-up-frames', we could create a new user option `pop-up-tabs' whose
non-nil value will always display a new buffer in a new tab, and we
could even set it to non-nil by default for the convenience of new users.
