I've been thinking about extending the <!--PageLeftFmt--> (and other)
markups to allow "switches" that would indicate if the page should
be loaded or not.  For example, something like:

    <!--PageLeftFmt PageExists("$Group.SideBar")-->
      ...
    <!--/PageLeftFmt-->

which would define PageLeftFmt, and perform the equivalent SetTmplDisplay
depending on the value of PageExists.  Or, rather than full PHP code,
we could limit the test to just the existence/non-existence of pages:

    <!--PageLeftFmt $Group.SideBar-->
      ...
    <!--/PageLeftFmt-->

I'm also planning to add (:noright:) to the core.
