"Not enough memory to open this page" should trigger tab discarding

Reported by test35...@gmail.com, Dec 15

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/72.0.3626.17 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Open enough tabs to trigger the "Not enough memory to open this page"
2. 
3. 

What is the expected behavior?
Automatically trigger a tab discard to free up enough memory to open the page

What went wrong?
Tab discarding - a wonderful feature - isn't actually being used when chrome is using too much memory!

Did this work before? No 

Chrome version: 72.0.3626.17  Channel: beta
OS Version: 10.0
Flash Version: 

Tab discarding is a very cool feature. The most obvious use case though - when there are too many tabs open to continue using the browser - should trigger an urgent discard to free up enough memory to open the current page seamlessly. That'd be beautiful.

Thanks for filing the issue...

As per comment#0 it seems to be a feature request hence marking it as untriaged and requesting someone from the dev team to look into it.
