Description

In deprecated select method you can select tab by id selector:

$( "#tabs" ).tabs( "select", "#first-tab" );

you can't do it using active option now.

Such arguments are expected to work:

$( "#tabs" ).tabs( "option", "active", "#first-tab" )

No, that's deprecated.

but what is the reason for that? As for me it decreases usability. Now I have to rewrite all the code where I've used this feature. And in jqueryUI sources it is very easy to implement for example like this:

_setOption: function( key, value ) {
		if ( key === "active" ) {
			// _activate() will handle invalid values and update this.options
			this._activate( this._getIndex(value) );
			return;
		}

Ok, so write an extension. Not everything belongs in the core of the plugin.
