Yes, this would be great, as long as each tab bar field would shrink,
not only the tabs themselves at the very left. For me the overflow
happens not only because I have too many tabs but because my system bar
gets too long.

However I suspect that such shrinking behavior is harder to implement
nicely, in contrast to simple truncation.
