Close a tab DELETE

The only tab of a window cannot be closed.

Add columns to a tab POST

Adds the columns after the last column of the tab, which keeps its name and the widths of its columns. A tab that is not selected becomes active for the time of the command. `stacks` and `charts` of the answer are only the added widgets, in the order of columns.
