Suggestion: repurpose optional sidebar for emergent narrative by showing live visible monster and object names similar to Brogue #48

Unangband has an excellent bottom status bar. Maybe the optional sidebar can be repurposed to show a live visible monster and object list, only displaying the character and its name both for easy reference and an instant awareness of the surroundings.

This could heighten the immersive experience of the dynamic Unangband dungeons. When I'd step into a dungeon room filled with interesting objects, that sidebar would create an emergent narrative and really bring out one of the best parts of Unangband.

If you can make a temporary branch, I can send a pull request to that branch with my changes showcasing in-game what I mean. Basically a very succinct version of the standard monster and object list inspired by Brogue, displaying on the right side of the main window if the window is resized beyond a minimum width.

Just give a standard pull request to master if you have the code already written.
