       *  lifetime of all the tabs that it creates, ensuring that they
       *  are added to the correct tabs_widget and are destroyed when
       *  appropriate.

       *  tabs_manager is responsible for managing policies regarding
       *  tab lifetimes, such as ensuring that some tabs are singletons,
       *  or ensuring that some tabs are hidden rather than being
       *  deleted.
       *
       *  tabs_manager is a singleton, reflecting the fact that the
       *  invariants it enforces are global over all tabs in the
       *  program.
