Ok, I'll implement that.  In addition, I think it will be warned if
found in most line @-commands, except maybe @exdent, @center and @item
in @table.

I have checked, if there is a @shortcaption the @caption may contain
anything.  If there is no @shortcaption, what is in @caption is very
constrained, much like @shortcaption (even a @comment on a second line
is not accepted..).

This makes perfect sense, thus.  So constructs that are not allowed in
@shortcaption may trigger a warning/error when they appear in @caption 
and there is no @shortcaption.  However, the implementation would not be
that easy.  Do you think I should work on it nevertheless?
