[ this is not a real bug, but an RFE ]

I'd like to have the ability to manage passwords on a per-tab basis. Explanation:
When developing web apps, for example in Zope, one needs to have one page with
the Zope management screen open, and one other page with the to-be developed
application open. More often than not, it would be of advantage to have
different identities for these both screens which are preferably to be placed in
a tab instead of a full-blown browser instance, for limited resource usage. At
least in Zope, the majority of handling of identities is done with Basic Auth
and cookies, so there would also be a need to extend this notion to cookies.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

Um... right now there is no support for this in separate _windows_ much less
separate tabs.  This has nothing to do with tabbrowser; you're asking for a
rearchitecture of the network library.
