I thought that Ben was the only one needing that in his KCM. And indeed he's 
not alone there... I missed the notifier case and there's probably more.

Yes it has to be an extra static method. No I don't like the name though 
(surprise!). ;-)

What about DeviceInterface::typeDescription(Type type) ?
It'd map just nicely with the Device::description() you introduced earlier I 
think. Anyone committing to implementing it? Patch should be a no brainer to 
review. Bonus point to coordinate with Ben to reuse the strings he already has 
in the KCM. ;-)

Regards.
