+% Use to make description lists with referenceable items.  E.g.:
+%
+%   \begin{description}[labelindent=2em]
+%     \item[\otsnamedlabel{req:low-cost}{$\otsdot$ Low Cost}] --- Cheaper per month.
+%     \item[\otsnamedlabel{req:data-mgmt}{$\otsdot$ Data Management}] --- Better back-end data management.
+%     \item[\otsnamedlabel{req:control}{$\otsdot$ More Better}] --- So much more better than before.
