Description of the new feature / enhancement

This is not being used in the UI anywhere (yet)... we should think about this field and remove it if it is superflous.

Scenario when this would be used?

NA

Pretty confident it was vestigial. Only place I could think it would be useful would be in the settings. But even there, the name of the app itself is probably fine, and/or we can just use the names of the top-level commands

It may actually be really nice for settings to display that string instead of whatever the app name is. Maybe we can use that as the first string shown & if empty we'll fall back on the package name.

Yea I think we'll leave this in there for now. We're not displaying it anywhere now, but once we start displaying settings, installed command providers, etc, we'll need it.
