Description
**Note: for support questions, please use stackoverflow**. This repository's issues are reserved for feature requests and bug reports.
* **What is the current behavior?**
Running `manage graphql_schema` to export the `schema.graphql` doesn't output the description for types and fields. I've only tested it when the description is described via docstrings, e.g.:
```
class SomeType(graphene.ObjectType):
"""
Some description
"""
field = graphene.String()
```
but I suspect it also doesn't work when using `description=` or the `Meta` class as described here:

* **If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce and if possible a minimal demo of the problem** via
a github repo, https://repl.it or similar.
- Create a schema with at least one type with a description (and/or a field description)
- Run the `graphql_schema` introspection command to export a `schema.graphql` file
* **What is the expected behavior?**
The schema is outputted including field and type descriptions.
* **What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior?**
No type or field descriptions are exported.
