Description

If any compound option has the name workspace_bindings, the corresponding group-box will have the title "Go To Workspace Bindings". For example, wsets:

Instead, it would be much better if WCM could read the "Short Description" and show it (<_short>...</_short>)

Research direction

Start in src/wcm.cpp around line 888, which the issue identifies as the likely source of the group-box title. Reproduce the behavior with the wsets compound option and inspect how its Short Description is exposed. Done means the group-box uses that description instead of "Go To Workspace Bindings" when a compound option provides one.
