IMO the recent rename was bad, because the current TCustomTabControl is 
implemented as a TPageControl, incompatible with a (Delphi) TTabControl. 
I had hoped that the widgetset interface would allow to implement simple 
tabbed controls (without pages), and derive paged controls in the LCL, 
but nothing happened in that direction :-(

Most ComCtrls suffer from the duplicate storage of the items, in the 
widgets and in the controls. I'd be happy with the way how Delphi 
manages all items, using a *temporary* item list *only* while no widget 
exists - i.e. when such a control is loaded from a resource, or when it 
must be recreated later. On nowadays machines it will do no harm to 
refer to the properties stored in the widgets, which will be up-to-date 
and consistent all the time.
