Feature: Display dropbar for the current buffer in the tabline

Discussed in https://github.com/Bekaboo/dropbar.nvim/discussions/132

^{Originally posted by willdavidow January 23, 2024} This may be more of a winbar question than anything specific to this plugin, but:

I'm wondering if a setting to enable a global winbar (similar to vim.opt.laststatus = 3) exists?

Would love to have just a single winbar across the top of my window instead of one per buffer... does a setting like this exist either in Neovim, or perhaps in this plugin?

This is possible but I don't think it is worth the extra complexity, one can make use of dropbar.nvim as a library and build a new small plugin on top of it, may be droptabline.nvim?

Yeah, that was what I was thinking. If I decide to work on this I'll build it totally standalone and you can decide whether you want to upstream it here or keep it separate.

I think the API you've built with dropbar is honestly the best I have discovered for bar/line type things so it would be pretty cool to extend to the tabline and maybe even statusline imo.
