Not an enhancement, this is a bug. I've disagreed with this choice since the

familiar names across all skins.

They can and they will. And we will inevitably get complaints that "When I
changed nstab-whatever it didn't work in Vector"

Ugh. You *could* do that in Vector. Preferably we should just chunk the
