Move show next left file button to left of file tabs

At the moment, if you have a number of files open (more than will fit across window), to navigate around the file tabs
you use the buttons to the right of the right-most file tab (top right of editor window). I often find myself checking
through files by moving along the line of tabs and clicking each one. If I'm moving right to left, I get to the left
most visible tab and then have to move my mouse all the way to the right before the next file to the left appears.

I think it would be easier to navigate around the tabs if the button to see the next tab to the left was at the left end
of the tabs. The button to see the next right tab would remain to the right.

If you want to see what I mean, have a look at Firefox 3 and open up more tabs than will fit across the window.
