Description

This feature consists of two things:
1. Allow use of Description attribute on indicator/study inputs.
[Input]
[Description("Number of bars in a fast moving period")]
public int fastLength { get; set; }
2. Show the description in the Format Indicator or Format Signal window.
It would be great to also support a similar thing in MultiCharts PL especially since your indicators can be in compiled format with no access to source code, these annotations will come extremely useful both for developers and users.
See: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/System.ComponentModel.DescriptionAttribute

Steps to reproduce this issue
  1. Open Format Indicator or Format Signal window.
  2. Select an input
  3. There is no description for the input

More attributes from the System.ComponentModel namespace can be used here. For example instead of always showing the identifier name for Inputs, we could use the [DisplayName] attribute to show custom names. This allows using spaces in input names, for example "Some Input Name Alpha" instead of "SomeInputNameAlpha".

This would be useful and should be easy to implement. Please review this suggestion.
