    I'm afraid I don't actually catch the point. This sounds like two separate
    tasks.
    Comments that are (re) engineered to SQL comments cannot be generic, because
    as far as I know, SQL specifies only one string per column, table etc.
    Generic properties are more flexible, but they cannot be saved in DB. And I
    don't like the idea of having generic property map this one "specific"
    comment key, because it makes the design blurry. So possibly we could open
    both tasks (?)
