I'd also like this change - it'd be nice if the 'alias' directive was
renamed so that each object type with an alias/description was named
separately - i.e. hostgroup_alias or hostgroup_description etc etc.

Though I guess the only thing to watch is to make sure people don't
confuse it with service descriptions that are mandatory to make the
service unique.
