 The description environment  is used to make labeled lists.  The <tt>label</tt>
 is bold face and flushed right.  The text of the <tt>\item</tt> command
 is indented.
<p>
 Typical usage is for descriptive lists
 or lists of definitions; the <tt>label</tt> is then the name of the
 item being described or defined.
