[Feature request] labels #110

It would be nice to comment on the meaning of a folder by adding a short piece of text. Here is the GUI in WebApp created with https://github.com/Immediate-Mode-UI/Nuklear. There I like to explain a settings section with a label, a short piece of text. image

Hi there—I agree it would be nice but probably won't be added. I think it's great when we expose these panels to users, but the primary use-case for lil-gui is developer-facing debug. The library's at a point where I don't want it to grow much larger unless it's in service of that goal.

It's easy to imagine code in user-land that appends and styles DOM for these sort of info boxes, i.e. folder.$children.prepend(myInfoText). Someone could even write a library that extends GUI with methods for adding those / applying the relevant CSS vars, etc :)
