When I wrote them, I tried a few possibilities, but I remember I inserted them in the struct of a frame.

In any case, a tab shoud be able to respond to events, and each event must be defined by a lisp function.

This is the point where I stopped.

I finished only the creation/deletion/ basic functions for tabs, and I inserted some simple events, like hide tab, or show tab, and did not continue any more.

Whatever implementation will be , it must define the events as elisp functions ; even after the creation of a tab, there must be an event that calls a lisp function.

In this manner, we will be able to have a lots of functionalities implemented as tabs. There can be defined lots of patterns for tabs.

It depends on what "tabs" stands for and how many "tabs" we want to show
on any frame: If we want per-window tabs, atomic windows should be used.
If we want per-frame tabs, side windows could be used.
