After looking through the documentation for if_perl and if_pyth, I noticed
that the python bindings had the ability to query and manipulate tab page
objects, while the perl bindings did not.
Is there a technical reason for the difference (i.e., a limitation for the
perl C bindings?), or is it something that was never implemented?
Perl is not so popular nowadays, so there are less authors willing to
contribute to if_perl.xs. I do not think there are any technical
reasons (I do not know XS, but I am the person who initially wrote
Python tab page objects and can say that there should not be any
problems on the Vim side and given that there are objects like $curbuf
I do not see why there could not be something like $tabpages).
Interestingly enough, it appears that none of the other language
bindings, aside from python, allow for direct tab page access. The ones
I looked through were lua, mzscheme, tcl, and ruby. I guess that means
that python is the most popular binding :)
