[Lazarus] Centered elements in autosize enabled panel. Possible?

[Avishai]

What I don't like about ChildSizing is if you need to change the order of
controls it can be difficult.  And here's something you should try.  Have a
TPanel as one of the Children - get everything set the way you want with
ChildSizing - now add a TLabel to the TPanel.

Using LeftAlign it's only a matter of dragging the control to the location
you want. BorderSpacing and Constraints gives me all the control I need (so
far - I'm still playing with it).
