Re: [orca-list] suggestion. Announce descriptions tied to controls when verbosity is set to verbose

[Fernando Botelho <Fernando Botelho F123 org>]

Hi all,

I think that if there is "a lot of crap" that would come up if this was 
implemented, we might want to leave it alone. High verbosity is 
tipically used by beginners and they are I believe, already fairly 
overwhelmed with the amount of stuff they have to process. Adding more 
verbosity if there is no real value add, is not worth it.
