Description

When using a plopfile.js that loads generators from another file via plop.load, the descriptions appear missing when running plop from the command line. Should they be retained by default or is there a way to specify that they are included via the include object?

Research direction
The issue involves `plop.load()` in `plopfile.js` where generator descriptions are lost. Investigate the `load` function in the source code (likely in `packages/plop/src/plop.js`). Look at how generators are registered and whether descriptions are passed correctly. Check existing tests for `load` to see expected behavior.
