Description
Proposal: TabGridView
Summary
Tabbed UI'are are of great use especially in tools like teminal
Apps like PowerShell ISE have this, whilst web browsers tend not to in my experience.
Rationale
- More Dev and User choice in UI Layouts
- Enables easier reshuffling of apps between different window sizes
- would help close this issue in terminal
- Can prevent having to waste time in scrolling to find the tab that you were looking for
(removed scope section as that could be added in a comment by others with more understanding of this process.)

Research direction

A contribution would need an agreed scope for TabGridView, including its behavior and acceptance criteria, before implementation and tests can be identified.
