==========================================================================================================================================

AuiTabContainer is a class which contains information about each tab.
It also can render an entire tab control to a specified DC.
It's not a window class itself, because this code will be used by
the :class:`AuiNotebook`, where it is disadvantageous to have separate
windows for each tab control in the case of "docked tabs".

A derived class, :class:`AuiTabCtrl`, is an actual :class:`wx.Window` - derived window
which can be used as a tab control in the normal sense.
