I wholeheartedly agree. I've seen this type of thing done in package
descriptions generally for UI toolkit and implementation language. Both
might make sense in corner cases, but it generally doesn't matter enough
to go in the description. And surely not a short description.

I'd maybe throw in a "graphical" here.
