 +======Synopsis:======
 +$__center__(<width> <text>)
 +
 +======Technical:======
 +This function returns the input text right-justified in a buffer that is
 +precisely (** ((width - strlen(text)) / 2) + strlen(text)** ) characters
 +wide.  The width must be given, there is no default.
 +
 +======Practical:======
 +This function returns the given text, padded on the left such that it
 +will appear to be "centered" in the width given.  The right side is not
 +padded, only the left.  To force padding on both sides, you must use the
 +width qualifier $[]var.
 +
 +======Returns:======
 +Input text centered in given width.
 +
 +======Examples:======
 +<file>
 +$center(15 hello there)               returns "  hello there"
 +$[15]center(15 hello there)           returns "  hello there  "
 +</file>
