So, by way of example:

regress_du_role1 | cannot login | regress_du_role0 granted by
regress_du_admin with admin, inherit, set | Description for regress_du_role1

~140 character width with description

No translations, all words are either identical to syntax or identifiers.

I'm on board with newlines in the attributes field.

The specific member of column changes are:

from -> granted by
( ) -> "with"
ais -> admin, inherit, set

I'm good with any or all of those selections, either as-is or in the more
verbose form.
