Then please point me to a function out of those mentioned in
tab-bar-format's :options that returns a list of menu items.  The
sentence in the doc string "Every item in the list is a function that
returns a string, or a list of menu-item elements, or nil" wasn't
mine, it was yours.  What did you have in mind when you wrote that?
