Description type in the struct should definitely be const char * IMHO |

Ah, I didn't pay much attention to that part. Will change it now. |
It's a nice feature for new mods, which might introduce new vars. This syscall extension is supported by at least the Quake3e engine: ec-/Quake3e@ada9f42 On vanilla and unsupporting engines this is a no-op. Yes, this doesn't add this to `game/` for now. That can be done in a follow up, and is trivial (basically just copy and paste). Also see the relevant feature request in ioquake3: ioquake/ioq3#884.

I have tested this with a VM build (not DLL though), by adding a description to a var.
