Just as a follow up looks like "%S" is already used. Perhaps the
following would be better: Let's use for example "%a" as follows:
1. If the tab is not being monitored, "%a" is ignored.
2. If the tab is monitored, and becomes idle / active, then "%a"
is expanded to the appropriate user configured string for the
states active / idle.
Alternately one could also change the color of the tabs title depending
on the tabs active / idle status, and by default monitor all tabs. A
user who doesn't care for this can just set the active and idle colors
to the same thing.
The only thing we should watch for is that the tabbar code has not been
optimized for "rapid" title changes. (The VT code has been written with
this in mind, but not the tabbar code). So perhaps a delay between
tabbar updates would be nice. A one second (user configurable) reporting
lag should be just fine.
