Great, thanks! And so I think  the right-angle, SMD, shrouded, etc.
variant parts are considered specified by the part number, and can be
expanded in the description?

Is there any sort of style preference for the descriptions? Something
like:

   Molex PicoBlade shrouded wire-to-board header. SMD, vertical, 4 ways.

Is there a preference for terminology w.r.t. ways/circuits/pins/
something else?

Thanks,

John
