    I think that was the idea from last time we discussed this. key/value
    pairs which could be attached to attributes, entities, etc. and a
    special key "doc" which would have significance in terms of generating
    javadocs in the generated code. There is nothing special about that
    key other than cgen would read insert its values in the appropriate
    places.

    Really the only hard part of this is creating a GUI in Cayenne modeler
    which allows for adding reasonably long bits of text to attributes,
    relations, etc. while not hiding them away in popup windows where you
    can't easily see them as you review the model.
