Option for a random/alternate word choice in descriptions.

The [tiny/small/brown] [cat/kitten] licked its [feet/paws].

This would vary up the text, choosing one of the options presented, creating sentences like

The tiny cat licked its feet.
The small kitten licked its paws.
The brown cat licked its paws.
The tiny kitten licked its feet.
etc.

This gives the option to vary up the text and descriptions, giving them the illusion of being more dynamic.

I think I implemented the EITHER function, in which case you could have:

The <# Either("tiny", Either("small", "brown")) #> <# Either("cat", "kitten") #> liked its <# Either("feet", "paws") #>.

This seems to have been implemented at least as far back as 5.0.22. I assume this is a v4 compatibility issue? This is a great addition although v5 users who haven't used v4 much (i.e. me) or at all may not know about this, maybe you should add it to the next release as an enhancement.
