Trying to click on truncation arrows in fringe bitmaps of buffers signals:
<right-fringe> <mouse-1> is undefined
So we need to bind <mouse-1> to a tab-line scrolling command
for [tab-line right-fringe] keymap?
Or maybe the tab-line could be dragged like dragging the
horizontal scroll bar in horizontal-scroll-bar-mode?
Or mouse-wheel could scroll the whole tab-line horizontally
instead of switching tabs like it does now?

I thought that granularity should be wider: scrolling by the window width,
like 'C-x >' ('scroll-right') does, where default is window width minus 2.
But maybe tab-button granularity is fine. The only problem is that
I still studying the code to understand where to begin. Could you suggest
in what function to implement all this scrolling?
