Add description/name option for global hooks

[dietergeerts]

I searched for it, but couldn't find out how to do this, even from the source code.
So basically, we now have this kind of output:

1) Scenario: Create meeting # features\MI0465-203-create-meeting.feature:10
   √ Before # features\step_definitions\hooks.js:31
   √ Before # features\step_definitions\hooks.js:43
   √ Given Actor Manager # features\step_definitions\actor.js:10
   √ When I wish to create a Meeting # features\step_definitions\meetings.js:13
...
   × Then The Meeting has the type Express # features\step_definitions\meeting-form.js:52
       NoSuchElementError: No element found using locator: By(css selector, *[id="meeting-type-name"])
...

As there can be more than 1 global (before) hook ran during a scenario, it would be handy to know which ones where run. Especially because we use tagged global hooks, so depending on the tags, some will run, others won't. If a test fails, we would like to see what has been run.

Is this available right now? And if not, can this be added?

You can see which hooks ran based on there location of definition.

√ Before # features\step_definitions\hooks.js:31
√ Before # features\step_definitions\hooks.js:43

Both hooks are defined in features\step_definitions\hooks.js with one on line 31 and the other on line 43.

I know you can see that, but for users that didn't wrote the test, and for those that did too, it's far easier to have some name for the before step printed after the Before keyword while reading the output of a test, otherwise, you'll always have to look what the before steps do. With a name/description, you will not need to check each time you read the output.

Okay. This isn't currently available but we could add it as an option alongside the timeout for all hooks

Just calling out that this is underway via cucumber/messages#73.
