The tabs are updated with the names of the cards as the cards are
created.  Thus when a new card is created, there is a tab that says
"card id _____".  I suppose I could attempt to determine if a card is
a new card and rename it before resetting the tabs.  However, if I
allow users to name the cards then I also have to ensure that they
don't name a card something that I can't navigate to because of this
taoism, thus the desire to figure out which tab they clicked on,
because then I can just go to card (and the number of the tab clicked)
to avoid the naming issue altogether.

Thanks for the menuHistory tip.
