Description
Right now, each result has its label determined only by the data in that record itself. This is easy, consistent, and simple. But sometimes I wonder if it makes sense to add more detail if a lot of results have labels that look similar, so that the results can be distinguished.
Consider this example from Mapillary that came from @eneerhut (thanks!)

It looks at first like we are just bad at deduplicating, but in fact there are that many Zacatecas in the world:

Even worse, some are regions, some are localities, some are even neighbourhoods, but you can't tell from the labels. Obviously, there's some leeway in the UI of things like Mapzen.js to add a little bit more information to what's displayed (showing the layer might help here, for example), but perhaps our labels could help.
This could also be useful for cases like in pelias/pelias#317, where searches for common restaurant chains gives back lots of identical results.
