/**
 * Support for "selecting" multiple tabs.
 *
 * The idea is to this work for tabs exactly like it does for a
 * regular list or tree widget: hold Ctrl/Cmd or Shift and click.
 * To make it work in the UI, tabs with multiselect="true" need to be
 * styled like selected tabs.
 *
 * Use getMultiSelect() to obtain a list of selected tabs.  For most
 * cases this will be the only API you ever need.
