No, because this feature is about wrapping buffers
visible on the tab-line.

Ok, since this feature is intended for the users of the tab-line, who
intuitively understand what it's doing, so it's not confusing for them,
here is what I'm going to do: I'll rebind 'C-x C-left' and 'C-x C-right'
in 'tab-line-mode' and will use tab-line functions to implement wrapping
of visible tabs/buffers.  Basically this means just adding a new map:

  (defvar-keymap tab-line-mode-map
    "C-x <left>" #'tab-line-switch-to-prev-tab
    "C-x C-<left>" #'tab-line-switch-to-prev-tab
    "C-x <right>" #'tab-line-switch-to-next-tab
    "C-x C-<right>" #'tab-line-switch-to-next-tab)

So no problem, tab-line.el is the right place since later I could
also implement drag'n'drop of tabs to allow manually changing
the order of buffers in the window buffers list.
