As of now both buffers and tabs are shown in the tabline.
I would like an option to just show tabs. If I open a new empty tab and then I close it via :q, the only way to get it removed from the tabline is to show the open buffers via :buffers and then do a :bd <number>.
This is definitely a different pattern than the one implemented by vim and neovim, as well as any IDE out there - where closing a tab also removes the corresponding entry from the list of tabs.
While I may see the use case for treating tabs and buffers as one thing, I'd like at least an option to disable buffers in the tabline that have already been closed.
