Split in Group for Two Different Files

[Zach-Attach]

The ability to create a single tab that contains two files side-by-side.

This would be appear like something between Split in Group and Compare Selected where the tab name contains the names of two files but the view would be that of two seperate of files with their own independent scrolling, line numbers, minimap, etc.

The idea stems from the split view in the Arc Browser. I find this workflow much easier to manage than having split sets of tabs, as I can work on the relation between two files without splitting my entire editor in half.
