People using modern web browsers will know what I mean. It is very addictive. Essentially it would add buttons at the top of the Emacs window, one button for each buffer. Clicking on one button will change focus to that buffer. Each tab may also have a X button that kill that buffer. There are several details to be sorted out, e.g., should the tab be per-window or per-frame? It is clear how this would work when you have just a few buffers, but what about when you have 50? We need to finish designing this feature before implementing it.
