No, it never has done so AFAIK.

I think that for most commands, two levels of verbosity are already
complicating the code in describe.c about as much as it can stand :-(
Things like the infrastructure to mark particular columns as translatable
would really need some significant work if we want to adopt multiple
pluses as a standard design element.
