Extra information field for a survey

Currently we can add additional attributes for a survey participant. But how about the surveys itself? Would others find it useful to have a short text field for additional survey info? The field could contain for example "project:missiles, customer:army, test" or whatever the site would use. In the university we could have a project number here etc.

Note: If I asked something and forgot to say version, I am using LS 5.x.

Use description ?
Or manual.limesurvey.org/BeforeSurveySettings ?
Or Surveys group ?

Description is shown to the user, so it is not good for an internal information.

Survey groups can help, but they allow only one variable, so there can't be both tags "project_number_321" and "test". Also they are already used for common settings.

Hooking BeforeSurveySettings will work, but I am thinking if this feature would be useful enough to get in to the core. Maybe it's not.

Only if you want to. I never show it. I understand that some might though.

About description : seems a good idea to show it (as title) in Survey listing.
No ?
