feature request for sidebars

Hi.

I'd like to request a feature.

I would like to have

        @sidebar Sidebar Title Here
        ....
        @end sidebar

For docbook, this becomes something like

        <sidebar><title>Sidebar Title Here</title>
        ....
        </sidebar>

and for everything else

        @cartouche
        @center @b{Sidebar Title Here}
        ...
        @end cartouche

I currently use an awk script to generate this for the gawk
manual, bug I'd like to have it built-in. :-)

O'Reilly books often have sidebars; they are boxed-off sections
of text with a title used to explain interesting or important
side points. The gawk manual has a number of them.

Much thanks,

Arnold
