The purge command currently only purges the first simulation given to it
on the command line. It does not complain about any additional arguments,
but neither does it attempt to purge them as simulations.

#483: Simulation descriptions

I think it would be useful to attach short descriptive text to a
simulation when it is created so that the user can go back to a simulation
much later and see what it was for. At the moment, we only have the
parameter file and the Formaline source.
I'm thinking of something similar to VCS commit messages. For example:
sim create-submit -m "Wave test - try better initial data"
par/wavetest_3.par 32 1:00:00
If the user wants it, they could set an option to *require* a description
for every simulation, in which case omitting one could give an editor
prompt like in svn, git, etc, and the possibility of more than one line in
the description becomes available. I would find this extremely
convenient. The description could be given in the output of list-
simulations, which might help when purging old simulations. The first
line of the description could be expanded into cctk_run_title in the
parameter file (I'm not sure what uses this parameter, but maybe it's
useful).
