- tab-bar-format-menu-global returns a list of menu items
  that display the "Menu" tab.  This tab is bound to a command
  that uses popup-menu to display the global menu on clicking.

- tab-bar-format-history returns a list of menu items
  that produce back and forward buttons.

- tab-bar-format-tabs and tab-bar-format-tabs-groups
  return a list of menu items that produce the tabs for the tab bar.
...

- Only tab-bar-separator returns a string.
