See, your entire way of thinking about it is based on the particular
behavior of your editor(s).

Not all editors are so simplistic.  In particular, there's no 
need for each file to have it's own editor or window (or tab).

[I often have many hundreds of files open at once, and don't even really
_notice_ how many there are...]
