In the same way that you can use SELECTEDMEASURENAME() or SELECTEDMEASUREFORMATSTRING() to return the name or the format string of the measure, respectively, can we have have something like SELECTEDMEASUREDESCRIPTION() and SELECTEDCOLUMNDESCRIPTION() that returns the description from the metadata?

This could be very useful for documentation and the creation of useful tooltip reports in visualisations.
