DESCRIPTION field missing from read_tiff() [message #48759]

I just noticed, sadly, that the write_tiff procedure has a description
field

WRITE_TIFF, Filename [, Image]. . . [, DESCRIPTION=string] . . .

but read_tiff can't help you get your string back

Result = READ_TIFF( Filename [, R, G, B] . . . {S.O.L.} )

Any suggestions for how to tuck some information away in the tiff for
later retrieval within IDL. I'd love to not have to create separate
descriptive text files.

Thanks,
M. Katz

P.S. "S.O.L." is American slang for "too bad."
