bling/module/tabbed.lua

--[[

This module currently works by adding a new property to each client that is tabbed.
That new property is called bling_tabbed. 
So each client in a tabbed state has the property "bling_tabbed" which is a table.
Each client that is not tabbed doesn't have that property.
In the function themselves, the same object is refered to as "tabobj" which is why
you will often see something like: "local tabobj = some_client.bling_tabbed" at the beginning
of a function.
