Described actions in tables

The action name part in that case would be the going action (I6 ##Go). It’s just described as “asking Bob to…” by the code for >ACTIONS because it’s a request.

There is some previous discussion on the nature of “described actions” at "Described action". There’s no way to store one, but zarf revealed a trick to allow assignment of a description of things at run-time, which can be considered to be a piece of a described action tuple.

Unfortunately, the compiler won’t accept a description of things as a column type for a table, but if you’re prepared to get kludgey there are ways to make use of stored descriptions.
