Or let me turn the table and ask you to explain to a potential Lisp
programmer what to expect from adding a function to the list in
tab-bar-format.  Suppose J.R. Hacker wants to write a function
suitable for inclusion in this list, and suppose the function returns
a string or a list of menu items -- what should J.R. Hacker expect
from putting that function in this list? how will the tab bar display
the value returned by the function?
