# Describable

interface Describable(source)

Types can implement this interface when they provide a human-readable display name. It is strongly encouraged to compute this display name lazily: computing a display name, even if it's only a string concatenation, can take a significant amount of time during configuration for something that would only be used, typically, in error messages.
