Well, the existing macro *is* a shadow tiddler, so if we changed and saved 
it, we'd effectively "overwrite" the shadow, leaving our TiddlyWiki with 
only the new <$tabs> macro we just created.  I decided to clone the core 
macro and give it a new name so that the basic <$tabs> from the core would 
still be available.  That way, if <$tabs> gets major updates in the core 
somewhere down the line, I'll be able to see them in my regular tabsets — 
and adjust my home-baked <$tabs-altCaptions> macro accordingly.

Best of both worlds, in my opinion!  ;)
