The example Cayenne Modeler 1.2.2.b build works well. You can see the
Description fields added to the end of the tables, and below some of
the dialogs. This does set a practical limit to the length of the
description (~50 characters). I practice I have found it to work well.
I agree in not having them hidden away, as it would defeat the purpose.
