GEnumValue struct's third field is for nickname not description. (*) But
GstIndexResolver uses the field for description.

(*):

Ruby/GLib's dynamic GEnum/GFlags definition routine uses a nickname field for
generating constant name in Ruby. If a nickname field has description not
nickname, Ruby/GLib can't generate reasonable constant name from it.

Could you use nickname field just for nickname not description?
