I don't really want to delve into this discussion now, but I'd say that a tab
should be about as general as a menu item. Yes, I know there is pushback by
some from that level of generality - already seen that the last time this topic
went 'round. It's still my view, so far.
In particular, what you describe wrt a window config could as easily be extended
to a desktop (i.e., what desktop.el traffics in), and from there to a desktop
bookmark (which Bookmark+ offers). And so on. Why not?
The general idea is about switching to some alternative config/state, which
remains associated with a particular tab. That's a bit less general than a
completely arbitrary action (function), but not by a lot.
Why prescribe that the only such alternative configs/states supported/allowed
are windows or frames or buffers or window/frame configs?
Anway, don't be surprised if I bow out now. I don't really have anything
specific to say about this at the moment. And I do realize that this is a
minority view (probably a minority of one).
