Description of the new feature/enhancement

Currently, dragging a tab allows you to rearrange the tab order.

I suggest that it should also be possible to adjust panes this way. Please see the attached image.

Dragging a tab onto a seam between to panes or near the edge of a tab should create a new pane there and place the tab in there. It should also be possible to swap a tab and a pane by dragging onto the center.

The upper-right example is dubious, as it requires the addition of a draggable icon to every pane. It has been greyed out to clarify this.
