Comparison should optionally include plain language descriptions not variable names #664

Description

@carlhiggs

Currently the comparison table is generated with variable names.

Perhaps this is useful for compact presentation or transparency.

But more useful in most situations I think would be plain language descriptions and/or an extended plain language description with variable name in bracket.

Particularly with all the new indicators, I think clearer explanations are required to describe what these mean and their nuances:
