^ size: size of tabview
	{
		x,
		y
	}
^ tabheaderpos: upper left position of tabheader (relative to upper left fs corner)
	{
		x,
		y
	}

Class reference tabview:

methods:
- add_tab(tab)
  ^ add a tab to this tabview
  ^ tab:

	caption            = "tab caption",  -- text to show for tab header
	cbf_button_handler = function(tabview, fields, tabname, tabdata), -- callback for button events
	--TODO cbf_events         = function(tabview, event, tabname),           -- callback for events
	cbf_formspec       = function(tabview, name, tabdata),            -- get formspec
	tabsize            =
		{
			x, -- x width
			y  -- y height
		},                                                            -- special size for this tab (only relevant if no parent for tabview set)
