Then you can put your descriptions in a method like:
Address class>>street
<description>
^ MAStringDescription selector: #street

Oh... You're just trying to avoid the description naming pattern, I see. I
was thinking something more along the lines of something on the accessors
directly...
Post>>author
<description: #SingleOption label: 'Author'>
<options: #findAuthors>
<relatedTo: #SBAuthor>
<displayField: #asString>
<required: true>
^author
Post>>comments
<description: #ToManyRelation label: 'Comments'>
<relatedTo: #Comment>
^comments
Post>>title
<description: #String label: 'Title'>
<required: true>
<length: 150>
^title
Post>>body
<description: #Memo label: 'Body'>
<required: true>
^body
Post>>isPublished
<description: #Boolean label: 'Published?'>
<default: true>
^isPublished
And generating Magritte descriptions from the metadata and not using class
side descriptions at all. Or maybe just by default, and falling back on
class side descriptions for complex cases.
