Maybe the TabTestPanel could go in the examples as a start ?
Would you plan adding this feature ? Is it complementary to the

Maybe changing the callback method name would help to understand.,
maybe having a keyword (#callback:inComponent:).

Anyway, thanks for the explanation and discussion. This is always interesting :)
