+1 for the attempt, FWIW.

These things are called "tabs" by folks in general, but we do need a short way
to distinguish them from tab chars and the TAB key.

However, I'm not sure that "tabbed window" and "tabbed frame" are appropriate,
given the generality of these things (but I have not followed this discussion,
so maybe they are).  IIUC, the only thing we can really say about them to
distinguish them is that they are on a "tab bar", wherever that might be and
whatever any individual tabs on that bar might do.

One possibility, which is not very pretty but pretty much distinguishes these
tabs without committing to any particular uses, would be to call them "tabbar
tabs".  Just a suggestion.
