It seems what you need is not tab-switcher, but the exact analog of
`ibuffer' to manage tabs the same way as `ibuffer' manages buffers.

Please see https://debbugs.gnu.org/38680 and https://debbugs.gnu.org/38624
where such `tab-list' is being developed.

`ibuffer' is a good analogy: it creates the special *Ibuffer* buffer,
and the same way `tab-switcher' creates the special *Tabs* tab.

I agree that the docstring should say that it creates a new tab,
even though `ibuffer' doesn't say that it creates a new buffer.

The docstring doesn't say it will create a new tab but a
`tab-bar-new-tab' call will be made eventually. It's like that `ibuffer'
will create a new (dummy) buffer (not the special *Ibuffer* buffer). Any
reasons on that?
