+ * Construct a description string for a backend to use as

+ * For some backends this will be overridden: e.g. SSH prefers to
+ * think in terms of _logical_ host names (i.e. the one associated
+ * with the host key) rather than the physical details of where you're
+ * connecting to. But this default is good for simpler backends.
