Start by reviewing the Apple native tabs reference linked in the issue and comparing its behavior with MacVim's existing tab and window behavior. No source files, entry points, or tests are named, so first identify the relevant MacVim UI code and testing approach. Done means native tabs are supported with behavior matching the requested reference.
