RFE: enable gvim to open a buffer or tab in a new window

This is likely only pertinent to a GUI version of vim,
like gvim running over X.


More than once I've wanted to be able to tear off a tab
and have gvim open the tab in a new window and
have the new window function like a "tab"
(or a "split") -- except the other "view" (in case of
a split), be in a physically separate window.

Just the other day, I had two files open in tabs
(.cc and .h: a C++ source & header). Instead of
window switching, I wanted to change my visual
layout for 1 pair of files to see them side-by-side
(and when I was done, close the 2nd display leaving
the 2nd file as a 2nd tab in the 1st window.

If I could tear off & merge tabs it would easily allow
such operations.

Is that something that might be doable?
