I haven't looked at 1.4 but in 1.2 the quality is wildly variable.
Some of the apps have descriptions that read like assembly langauge
comments:

ADD    A,B    ; add A to B

Dial is an exception, it has everything you need to know right there.
Someone should probably take a look at every app and make sure the
description is enlightening. Another idea would be to include a unique
ID in that CLI output that could be used to build a URL that gave a
man page like listing.
