What I liked about the 'display approach is that it didn't seem to require changes in the describe-* commands to work... So I thought we could perhaps limit the places where we propertize the string, and I came up with the attached patch. But if you still think it is the wrong way to do it, or if you like your changes better, I promise I won't insist. Note that with my patch, we'd still need the info-lookup patch from yesterday.
