<p>Comment (by Roland Haas):</p>
<p>Doesn’t that make the description optional by defaulting to a an empty string if no description is given?</p>
<p>The documentation, which defines what is an acceptable param.ccl file, found for example here <a data-is-external-link="true" href="http://einsteintoolkit.org/usersguide/UsersGuide.html#x1-186000D2.3.2" rel="nofollow">http://einsteintoolkit.org/usersguide/UsersGuide.html#x1-186000D2.3.2</a> has</p>
<div class="codehilite"><pre><span></span>[EXTENDS|USES] <parameter type> <parameter name>[[<len>]] "<parameter description>"
[AS <alias>] [STEERABLE=<NEVER|ALWAYS|RECOVER>]
[ACCUMULATOR=<expression>] [ACCUMULATOR-BASE=<parameter name>]
{
<parameter values>
} <default value>
</pre></div>
<p>which has the <code><parameter description></code> as a requirement element. So based on that, not having a description should trigger an CST time error reporting that a description must be provided for this parameter.</p>
