Description

We should have self describing parameters for search components, etc.
I think we should support UNIX style short and long names and that you should also be able to get a short description of what a parameter does if you ask for INFO on it.

For instance, &fl could also be &fieldList, etc.
Also, we should put this into the base classes so that new components can add to it.

Sub-Tasks

• Add an API to describe registered APIs: Open
• Let a requestHandler handle sub paths as well: Closed
