The warning messages can be misleading. e.g., when trying to set
tab-bar-format-tabs-groups to include a simple lambda, it complains about
the wrong thing. It does match the hook type, but does not match the
hard-coded list of options.
(setopt tab-bar-format
`(
tab-bar-format-tabs-groups
(lambda () " ") ; tab-bar-separator
))
■ Warning (emacs): Value '(nil tab-bar-format-tabs-groups (lambda nil "
"))' does not match type hook
