Having the user interface that displays frame tabs in side windows, it
would be trivial to use it for switching between window configurations.
As for window tabs, there is no general application for them, so window
tabs are rather package-specific, e.g. Gnus could use them to display
opened groups attached to summary buffers in window tabs, etc.
