sequence diagram request: grouping actors in box

See original GitHub issue

Request Description

I’d love to be able to do this:

sequence diagram screenshot with box

More specifically, the “boxes” labeled “Application” and “Kafka”.

Source: https://chrzaszcz.dev/2019/12/kafka-transactions/

Proposed Syntax

I propose using the same syntax as loops:

sequenceDiagram
    participant Alice
    participant Bob


    box Alice_and_Bob
    Alice->>Bob: Hello John, how are you?
    Bob->>Alice: Fight against hypochondria
    end
