It could be possible to add customizations to change the max column
number when applying node description.  Currently the current value,
coming from --fill-column, which is 72 in the default case is used,
and I think that it should stay that way, but it could be made
customizable, maybe with
AUTO_MENU_DESCRIPTION_FILLCOLUMN

Similarly, the indent length is set arbitrarily to 31, it could be
dynamically determined based on AUTO_MENU_DESCRIPTION_FILLCOLUMN, for
example AUTO_MENU_DESCRIPTION_FILLCOLUMN / 2.3.  Then either the indent
length itself or the coefficient could be customizable, with either

AUTO_MENU_DESCRIPTION_INDENT_LENGTH
or
AUTO_MENU_DESCRIPTION_INDENT_FACTOR

Opinions?
