Feature suggestion: var for comments in userstyle config

[xrkaz]

Not really good at explaining in English, but I hope these pics I took will suffice. Userstyle not mine, just an example: source

Fig 1. Author is using text property as alternative to comments, which produces unnecessary text field. Fig 2. Optional: Clickable links support, if possible (might be risky though, leaving it to discretion) Fig 3. Possible output. Fig 4. Rich text support would be nice.

The original purpose of @var is to provide an easy way to define configurable options (like userstyles.org) in usercss. It doesn't tell the userstyle manager how to display them. Options are not even ordered. (They are stored in an object map.)

I think we have to decide the goal first:

• Do we want to allow users to define their UI extensively? We may add a new directive @options-ui and accept a template...?
• Or just add some new directives to hint the userstyle manager? e.g. the page looks better if blabla options are grouped together / add a donation link (@contributionURL?) / display more author message (although we already have @description?)

IMO:

• The donation link and the userstyle manager suggestion should be put in the README of the project. They are no use for users who just want to flip an option.
• Grouping options, is a nice addition. I think someone had requested it but I can't find the issue.
• No @options-ui.

• grouping +1
• support @donateURL meta and show a small link in the top right corner near Feedback.
• automatically make a new line for text in parentheses so it doesn't stretch the line, and use <small> so it can be customized
