I usually end up with less structured but IMHO more readable
description. Having the descriptions in form of pseudocode seems to be
useless as the actual code is right bellow it. I tend to rewrite these
into something like:

'Call foo with bar options and check for xyz result.'

Which shortens the description into one sentence but all the important
information is preserved.
