Actually, not only tab-bar-switch-to-tab has such function signature
that uses the argument NAME, but also other functions such as
tab-bar-close-tab-by-name and tab-bar-rename-tab-by-name.
All they expect a unique name of the tab.  There is no way
to distinguish tabs with the same name.  In practice,
this problem doesn't exist because in this case
the users just rename the tab to a unique name.

To make is more easy to rename the tab, I improved 'C-x t RET' in master
that now it creates a new tab when the provided tab name doesn't exist.
So instead of using 'C-x t 2' to create a new tab, you can use
'C-x t RET new-tab-name RET', exactly in the same way as
'C-x b new-buffer RET' can be used to create a new buffer.
