Limit Maximum Number of Open Tabs (for productivity purposes)

Does Opera have a setting that will allow it to limit the number of opened tabs? It could send out an error message when this specified number of tabs has been reached. I would like to enable this feature because of productivity/focus issues when using a browser.

Check out this link from Lifehacker: "Limit Your Browser Tabs and Documents to Two for Better Focus" http://lifehacker.com/5526300/limit-your-browser-tabs-and-documents-to-two-for-better-focus

Excerpt:

This rule is piggybacking off the idea that most of us can easily remember 5-8 chunks of information without it taxing our cognitive capacity. The Two-Tab Rule keeps the chunks of data that you're trying to manage in that comfortable range, and, yes, that third tab pushes you out of that range. Your mind will drop something – it'll either be the thought you were working on in your active tab or the information from the excess reference pages. A sure sign that it's the latter is you having to switch through multiple tabs to find the information you're looking for.
