what does the description field do?

[Ykulvaarlck]

i'm contemplating moving all description fields to comments before my snippets.

i already am using the snippet files as a proper javascript modules, and creating helper functions to remove repetitive keywords and options. i wonder if the description field has any effect on anything at all?

It helps the debugging :). Currently nothing is being done with it besides that its verified that description is a string or undefined and its stored in the snippet.

There is a feature request, see #263, that asks for a debug mode and description could then be an easier identifier to make a message or something as the parsed trigger might not be the same. But thats not in the near future (not that I am not accepting a pr, its just on a low priority for me and not enough time).
