Hmm. Well, switching a "single window"* between buffers toto.c and
toto.h might be something I'd rather use (yes, presently hypothetical)
interior split-tab tabs, attached directly to the window in question.
This is not unusual - Note how eclipse has tab bars on multiple panes,
and switching the main editor pane between files is done with the tab
bar most directly attached to it:
http://www.eclipse.org/screenshots/images/FortranIde-RedFlag_Linux.png
(* actually in the implementation I envisage it'd be switching /between
two emacs windows/ formed from a "split" on the "tab" axis, but at this
level of the discussion that's a detail).
My reservations about window-configurations-as-thing-tab-switches also
turn out to apply:
See, thinking about it, switching window configurations as a whole could
IMO be more like switching "perspectives" in eclipse (window
configurations do currently encapsulate the buffer being shown in each
window, and assuming split-tabbed existed would also record tab
arrangement).
So a "debug" window configuration may have (possibly tabbed) windows
open on buffers with your source, compilation outputs, a gdb window
etc., while a "edit java" window configuration has windows with your
source, a directory tree browser, doc and completion windows etc.
Now, a tab bar is probably still a vaguely reasonable UI for switching
between a small number of perspectives, though not actually the UI
eclipse uses (see the "Debug" button in the upper right of Fig.1
