Comment (by johnjamesjacoby):

 Responding to @jeremyfelt's points:

 * I'm fine doing that elsewhere, but we'll need to be doubly sure we don't
 make any mistakes during the fork and merge of these two initiatives
 * The way we've been doing this everywhere else is to make these screens
 objects, but we can't easily have more than 1 'WP_Screen` object hanging
 around at any one time. I think because these tabs are put out at run time
 vs. precompiled on `init` or elsewhere, doing this late is the only place
 we currently have without inventing a new place
 * It looks fine until you start to have no tabs, which indicates something
 has gone horribly wrong. We should account for this, but it would require
 manually unsetting something in a forceful way, which makes me inclined to
 think someone doing that wants that level of control.
 * I know we don't do this in very many places anymore, but considering
 this is duplicated logic across 4 (or more) files, it felt right to put it
 inside the function. Once it was in there, I could imagine core wanting to
 modify this in the future, and/or plugins wanting to go even further into
 modifying the tabbed interface into something else. Naturally, I'm doing
 this, so I find it pretty useful as it is.
