You can use parentheses just do not forgoet to surround any descriptions us=
ing
them with doubles quotes for now, a fix is needed in make showconfig to all=
ow
them without the double quotes. I'll work on it as soon as I have time "hav=
e a
look at zsh port where I use parentheses (same form quotes, see PYMALLOC_DE=
SC
in bsd.options.desc.mk which uses simple quotes.

btw bsd.options.desc.mk is completly open to anyone its goals if to provide=
 a
centrale place to share often used options description, you can all access =
to
it without any approval, feel free to improve its documentation in the comm=
ents

regards,
bapt
