Description
A one liner summary, like we have for catalogues, would be really nice for the collections. This likely is an upstream issues first as we have this query cached on the server side.
```
In [1]: from astroquery.ipac.irsa import Irsa
In [2]: Irsa.list_collections(filter='euclid')
Out[2]:
collection
object
----------------------
euclid_DpdMerBksMosaic
euclid_ero
In [3]: Irsa.list_collections(filter='spherex')
Out[3]:
collection
object
---------------
spherex_qr
spherex_qr_cal
spherex_qr_deep
```
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start at the Irsa.list_collections entry point and compare its result handling with the existing catalogue summary behavior. Check whether the upstream query and server-side cache can provide descriptions; done means filtered collection results include an optional one-line description without breaking the current table output.
