We've implemented this behavior in Cream. It is a true
one-tab-one-file system and makes sense for us because we are trying
to maintain a conventional interface.

But for a "normal" Vim user, this is quite a task. The functions are
simple, but you have to maintain a pretty extensive set of autocmds in
order to ensure that the tab state is always correct, regardless of
command via menu, command line, mouse click, other Vim instances, etc.
Cream already has this infrastructure in place, but on top of vanilla
Vim would require some minor background systems.

If anyone is interested in creating a plugin for Vim that does this,
please email me directly or on the Cream list so as to avoid wasting
everyone's time here. I'd be happy to assist developing something like
this if there is interest, and it might be more productive to develop
one good solution to share rather than everybody making a half
solution. (Not that I'd ever want to deprive you of the fun of trying
to do it just because. :)
