Description

Current usage descriptions are causing conflicts as different plugins can need the same usage description, and if you don't add it to one of them it might reset the text to " ".
Having that empty usage description will cause a rejection from Apple.

So, we should remove the USAGE_DESCRIPTION preferences/variables and document how to set the UsageDescription texts using the edit-config tag.
