Perhaps you are using older runtime files? It works fine for me.

Nice idea. The completion mechanism for C uses tags, but for Python,
for example, it's totally different. Thus this would be a completely
separate thing. Perhaps some functions (for figuring out the type)
could be shared. Since this is all in Vim script it can be done with a
mapping, I don't see a reason to implement it inside Vim.

Set a tab page local variable and use that in 'guitablabel'.

'tabline' is for the text form, 'guitablabel' is for GUI tabs. I don't
see how it could work differently without causing a great mess when
switching from console to GUI with a ":gui" command. You would get
console highlight stuff in your GUI labels.

You need to read at least a bit of the documentation to use Vim
features. I think it's good that ":tab" by itself does nothing instead
of something you didn't expect or even irreversabel.

I don't like a mix of positive and negative flags. It's so much simpler
to say that something is enabled when the flag is there.

I just updated that text yesterday. This was all added quite late.

Ignore it in what way? If you want to ignore leading white space you
can use:
:sort /\s*/
