The benefit is that the tabs provide a visual cue (which many users
will have experience with) of what alternatives are available via
`next-tab' or `pop-to-tab'.
That benefit comes from having the feature of tabs.
I think it is a good idea to add that feature.
But you are talking about something else: to treat the current
"multiple-frames on a single tty" as tabs rather than as frames. That
has nothing to do with the benefits tabs provide, and I don't see how
it would provide any benefit. It would just create an unnecessary
loss of parallelism between the tty case and the graphical display
case, right?
Perhaps you should state your proposal more concretely and precisely.
