FR - AutoStack tabs into stacks containing n tabs each when total number of tabs crosses x

Say when the number of Tabs I have crosses 40 then they get autostacked to 4 stacks containing 10 tabs each.

This idea could be further refined by adding the following ideas :
1. Automatically tab stack with the same domain/site.
2. Automatically tab stack when creating a new tab from another tab
(2 would be similar to how IE8/9 'grouping' tabs work)

How can this be organised :
When the number of Tabs crosses 40 -----> A dialogue opens asking the user if he wants tabs stacked A.Domainwise, B.Parent tab wise or C.Just 4 stacks of 10 tabs . The user can be given an option among the preferences of whether to open a dialogue box everytime to decide how he wants the tabs stacked or to just make a setting that will apply automatically if the 41st Tab is opened (maybe a yes/no dialogue will still be required in that case)

I hope I've been lucid enough in describing what I see mentally.

@Serious : You -1'd one of my suggestion(AutoStack tabs into stacks containing n tabs each when total number of tabs crosses x). How would you receive it if an option to 'expand all stacks' were added to the context menu ? I understand that we might find a tab lost among one of the many stacks that get created - but 'expand all stacks' will help you locate it easily.

That said this option to 'expand all stacks' should be incorporated even if Autostack is not implemented at all (in any form)

It just doesn't make sense to group together a bunch of random tabs just because they are Nr. 1 through 10 ... that's why I -1'd it.

Auto-stacking on the other hand makes a lot of sense for me, because it quite well reflects how my context switching works (stacks are created in expanded mode and when I want to do a context-switch I can just collapse the current stack and create a new tab and the old context is not in my way, but I can still switch to it quite fast).
