TabView status?

[chucker]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

WinUI's TabView has features the WPF TabControl lacks:

For example,

• tabs can be dragged to change their order
• …and they can be dragged between windows, or to create a new window
• tabs feature a close button
• there's an add button to the right

I would argue despite the similar visual metaphor, the TabView and TabControl are two different things. The TabView holds entire documents (for example, Windows 11's Notepad); the TabControl gives different views for a single document (for example, the General / Security / etc. tabs in a File Explorer's Properties dialog).

Describe the solution you'd like

There's an existing WPF library that does most (all?) of the above in https://github.com/ButchersBoy/Dragablz, and you can see that in action in a modern UI in, for example, the ModernWpf integration.

I wonder if, in lieu of rolling an implementation of its own, there could be a Wpf.Ui.Dragablz library that wraps Dragablz, and adds WpfUi styling.
