Yegappan Lakshmanan has implemented tooltips for the tab page labels on
Win32.  It's included in last night's snapshot, 7.0e06.

If someone wants them for another system I might slip it in if I get a
patch today...

No, does it for you?  Balloons would be fun, but what I use most about
the tabline is looking at the contents of other tabs while cruising
with the keyboard.  I don't see anything about balloons in the
tabpage.txt doc.  Is there some default feature?

Right now, I've got the tabline customized to show enought that I get
a good visual glance of what is where for a small to medium number of
windows, but when I get several projects going at once, even with Gvim
in fullscreen mode, the tabline turns into a mash of chars.

Does it show full label in balloon when you suspend
mouse over the labels ?
