selectTab() without changing focus?

[medmunds]

Thanks for this! A self-contained, unstyled component implementing the ARIA tab pattern is really useful. I don't know if you're accepting enhancement requests from outside, but if so…

Is there a way to programmatically change which tab is selected without moving the focus? I'm trying to sync the selected tab across several tab-container instances on a page. I found the (undocumented but exposed) selectTab(index) method. Unfortunately, it calls focus() on the tab button it's activating, so calling it to sync tabs makes the focus wander around the page.

Would you be open to a PR to support an option like selectTab(index, {focus: false})?
