Wow. Works brilliantly. The only wonky thing I've found is reattaching a 
detached tab adds it to the root IDE GUI instead of down with all the 
other tabs. Not a big deal, as the module/class can just be 
double-clicked in the left pane to restore it. Dual monitor users: 
Rejoice! Thanks, Benoît.

I also just noticed that after detaching a tab, I can attach it to other 
programs, such as Thunderbird. That's fucking nuts. Love it. :)
