Indeed!

Do you think it does?

Or perhaps we should do it anyway in case we later want to put another
detach command under the submap -- perhaps we'll want C-x t ^ F for some
variant on tab-detach, since '^' can't be capitalised.

Here is a patch for review, though it's pretty trivial -- I am wondering
if an additional NEWS entry is warranted or not.  I don't believe there
are any manual updates required.

Nice to resolve this subthread.
