Can an extension be written that is used to group extensions into a single popup(somewhat like a tab on the browser)? I've not reviewed the docs sufficiently to know if this kind of functionality is even possible, but it seems that it could be possible.
The only drawback I can see right now is that the extension container may block the contained extensions from the topmost page (from sending/ receiving messages, etc.)? That may require muxing contained extension messages through the extension container? Just a thought.
