That would be sufficient but I am afraid that you misunderstood the task
that I am asking you to do. You will see that the actual task is quite a
bit less work.

That's nice, but the task is to come up with a short string that must
fit into a single line and is oriented towards the user, not towards a
script programmer. The string will be visible in the status bar when
browsing the menus. Something like the following would be appropriate
for your example:

  "Generate a repeating pattern of Truchet tiles"

Please have a look at the plug-ins. We have done this there already and
the script-fu blurbs should match that style.
