Documentation for the database model has been an issue that I was
interested in since the EOF days.

My main concern with comments in the model would be that they are possibly
going to be loaded into the runtime as well ... this only wastes memory.
My approach was to store documentation of the model separately to the
model itself. IIRC I have such a documentation app half finished for
cayenne lying around at home. I can have a look if somebody is interested
...
