+ALIST is an association list of action symbols and values. See
+Info node `(elisp) Buffer Display Action Alists' for details of
+such alists.

+If ALIST contains a `name' entry, it creates a new tab with that name and
+displays BUFFER in a new tab. If a tab with this name already exists, it
+switches to that tab before displaying BUFFER. The `name' entry can be
+a function, then it is called with two arguments: BUFFER and ALIST, and
+should return the tab name. When a `name' entry is omitted, create
+a new tab without an explicit name.
+
+This is an action function for buffer display, see Info
+node `(elisp) Buffer Display Action Functions'. It should be
+called only by `display-buffer' or a function directly or
+indirectly called by the latter."
