[Req] Drag tab to new window on another monitor

Opera allows you to drag a tab outside of the window to open that tab as a separate Opera window. This is a good feature, but the implementation of this should be improved to support multiple monitors better.

When one drags a tab onto a separate monitor, currently the new window opens on the original monitor that it started on. A more ideal behavior would be if the new window were to open maximized on the monitor that the tab was dragged onto before the mouse button was released.

For an example, this behavior is implemented in fairly well in Chrome as such:
Chrome 5:
When the tab is dragged, a "shrunken" preview of the window appears under the mouse pointer. The page is then placed precisely where the mouse button is released, in its original size, on any monitor.

Firefox's behavior when dragging tabs out of the window works similarly to Opera's.

A good idea but it has flaws, if it gets implemented it will be a good start.

I have 3 screens:

22" 27" 22"

On my 27" screen, having to drag the very last tab on the right to my left monitor is a hassle. Having to drag tabs from my third screen to the first is also the same.
