The description field is scrollable. I was imagining the [EXPERIMENTAL] tag at
the top.

The second suggestion is pretty much what I had in mind, except that the
experimental tag being in the description rather than as a suffix.

Makes sense. Search/filter does its job based on the command names/labels etc.
before the list you see is filled, but I think we can include the suffix in the
search/filter as well.
My only concern with this approach would be that what happens if the command
name is too long. Appending the suffix will make it worse in that case.</pre>
