Umh I am afraid that might be too volatile to let the user access that
information. Also the description can be too much or too little
depending on the usecase. So while doing another table and another set
of api for the description is possible, I believe it's too specific to
have in libavutil, and it's really something that fits more in the
application level.

I thought the same but unfortunately strings in options_table need to
be compile time constants so we cannot use functions calls
unfortunately (nor crossing static table between libs or letting the
names be public).

Thanks for your comments.
