    Heh. Maybe should rename [emacs] frames to windows and [emacs] windows
    to panes, too. :-)

That might be good if it were not for the painful incompatibility that
would mean.

Since we have no tabs, now, we have no existing name for them.
There is no obstacle to using the generally known name.
