I'd love to see this; as is often the case, the middle ground between stacking
and tiling would be very helpful for productivity.

This is something that Haiku offered that I miss, and whilst their APIs for
anything graphics and UI are a complete world away from anything unix-like, so
it might not be helpful, as people are discussion appropriate ways to
implement, thought I might mention in case it gives any inspiration or food for
thought.

Personally I wouldn't be against some kind of alternative to strictly
implementing the tabbing within window decorations - such as aligning the two
applications stacked in a borderless container and implementing a custom
switcher widget above the two of them:

Even a button that came up when I hovered over the top of the decorations,
somewhat like the right-click actions that are available and (as far as I know)
are drawn by the compositor rather than the application. I can't stand it
myself when applications try and override the system window decorations, and
turn this off whenever possible, but it seems to be being forces by default in
an increasing number of applications, so an alternative method for providing
the same behaviour might at least minimise the number of corner issues or
potentially integrate better with the existing tiling support built in.
