Currently the protocol makes sure to output descriptions on a single line. I think we should rather switch the protocol for item from:

item = %s"item" nl completion nl description

to

item = %s"item" nl completion nl *(pchar / nl) %s"end-item"

It would then be for the completion scripts to do what they want with the multiple lines. The protocol would still remain quite easy to parse and it is easy for the completion scripts to collapse the multile line reads to a single line.
