No, I found it kinda puzzling.

The "automatic naming" defaults to tab-name, which is

  (alist-get 'name (nth (1- tab-index) tabs))

In my tests that was never nil, so the "leave blank" didn't seem
possible (and seemed misleading).  But I may well have missed something?

That is, there is no real way to get "automatic naming" interactively?
