I don't see much use in tabs anyway. they take up valuable screen real
estate and they do not contribute anything which is not already
available in the `mouse-buffer-menu'. nevertheless, if they will be in
Emacs, we might as well get them right.
My point is: there are two aspects here:
- "semantic": buffer grouping (by major-mode or project) and
- "UI": buffer selection (by mouse-buffer-menu or tabs).
they should be kept separate, i.e., any "semantic" approach should be
usable by each "UI" paradigm.
