Re: can we have 'stacked tabs' in 3.6?

Thanks John.
I decided, for now, to use the "Project View" in the explorer
to navigate between the files in my project - it's still pretty clumsy as
I have to put files into the project (up to now, I always simply used the
file system view), but at least once it's setup, I can fairly quickly hop
between files.

Seems like one elegant alternative to stacked tabs in the editor window
would be an "Open Files" view in the Explorer!  Actually a window like
that already exists - the "Documents" window (does anyone use that window?
I didn't even know it existed until I started writing about this idea!)
The main problem with it is that you can't seem to make it a tab in the
Explorer.  The entries in this "Open Files" (a.k.a. "Documents") view
should act just as the editor tabs do - i.e. when you single-click on an entry,
it would bring it to the forefront in the editor window.

Food for thought.
