There is no space in the description field for a fourth line where the
experimental status could be shown. Or do you want to move the existing lines
down and the last item will not be shown anymore? Or do you want to make the
description field bigger? Is this searchable? I suppose that the only few
people are reading the description field.

I would like it if experimental commands are
* either always visible (also when experimental mode is not activated) and then
enhanced with a suffix [experimental] in all listboxes and if not activated the
commands can be greyed out to show their inactivity like toolbar commands
* or are only visible when experimental mode is activated and additionally
enhanced with a suffix [experimental] so that the user is not wondering why
it's missing when the experimental mode once is deactivated.

The suffix at the command name shows at the glance that this command is only
available in experimental mode and should also be searchable with the search
field.
