Comment (by johnjamesjacoby):

 While this bit of WordPress admin UI is not exposed via a functional API,
 dozens of plugins (and themes) have copied the approach and styling,
 including BuddyPress, bbPress, WooCommerce, Easy Digital Downloads, WP
 User Profiles, and others.

 ----

 Because tabs do not exist as HTML elements (`tab` was an HTML3 element
 tho!) my recommended improvement here is to use a `nav` instead of an
 `h2`, and update the related CSS specifiers to support both old and new
 elements.
