I can't see how this closes a tab other than the current one.  Say a
user has 5 tabs open, and the 5th tab is the current tab.  If the user
clicks the close button on say the 2nd tab without bringing that tab to
focus, will the second page be removed, or will the current (5th page)
page be removed?  I don't understand how this would not just close the
current page.

Thanks for the response and the header file,
