Wouldn't this happen automatically if/when you create an InsetCaption. I
picture this InsetCaption as having
* an InsetText for the main body of the Caption
* a Counter * that points to a Counter in a Section, but not in a starred
Section.
* an InsetOptArg *. Ditto.
That way you can control exactly how the Inset draws itself in one place,
InsetCaption::draw.
if (counter_)
draw_counter();
if (optarg_)
draw_optarg();
inset_.draw();
Moreover, a paragraph would contain just one InsetCaption and nothing else.
If you later change the Layout back to standard, you can again define a
conversion method in InsetCaption.
Seems clean encapsulation to me.
