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.
