Original script: John Gruber (https://daringfireball.net/linked/2023/12/05/an-applescript-for-safari-split-tabs-to-new-window)
Much more elegant version: Leon Cowle (https://github.com/leoncowle)
Even more elegant version: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/54066100/applescript-to-split-safari-tabs-into-new-window/54089865#54089865

Worth a warning: "moving" tabs with this script doesn't actually move them like
drag-and-drop does. The tabs "moved" by this script will reload in the new window,

Making Bookmarklets

I'm feeling very clever. I've got this sweet line of javascript that replaces "cloud" with "butt". My mom would LOVE this, but she doesn't computer very well. I'm afraid to show her the Developer Console and have her type/paste this in. But she IS pretty good at bookmarks, she knows just how to click those!

A bookmark normally takes you to a new web page. A bookmarklet is a bookmark that runs javascript on the current page instead of taking you to a new page. To declare that it is a bookmarklet, the "location" it points to starts with javascript:.

Many thanks to those unknowing contributers that share their Applescript on the web. A few that helped with this script include: 
- Most of the UI Scripting came from Yoshimasa Niwa here: https://gist.github.com/4223249
- Code for checking if an app is running came from here: http://codesnippets.joyent.com/posts/show/1124

* Added several delays that seemed to be responsible for breaking this script in iTunes 11 

#### n8henrie Sun Mar 17 09:57:47 MDT 2013
* Added compatibility with iTunes 10 (untested, please confirm if you can)
