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:
   $center(15 hello there)               returns "  hello there"
   $[15]center(15 hello there)           returns "  hello there  "
