feature request: change `Really kill...' prompt to include window name

[Thanks for the great tool!]

Here's a tiny feature request.
Would you please consider changing the prompt, currently this:

  Really kill this window [y/n]

to one that includes the window's name and number, e.g.:

  Really kill this window (4 bash) [y/n]

The problem I'm trying to avoid is this: I type `exit' or C-d to one
shell-in-screen window, but because it seems to be taking too long,
I opt to accelerate the process by killing the screen `window'.
If I'm not careful, the shell may finally exit just before I type
`C-a k' and I could end up killing some other window by mistake.
But if the prompt included the window name/number, I'd have a good
chance of avoiding that.

Also, in the Reporting Bugs section of the manual,
you may want to change this address:
  address@hidden
to this:
  address@hidden

I'm using this version:
  Screen version 3.09.10 (FAU) 4-Sep-01

Regards,
Jim
