Used to produce an HTML description of an object; typically a table is rendered, and
the object's properties are displayed in successive rows of the table. In some
cases, a property may be described recursively. Simple objects may be described as
strings. The behavior behind this is extensible, defined in terms of contributions
to the

configuration point.
