Jack is referring to 'comments' since a powerful use of the feature he
has built is to use them to create things like javadocs with the
velocity templates. This is not quite the same as Andrey's 'comments'.

He was going to wait and see what Jack did here in case there was
useful overlap. One approach could be to reserve a MapEntryProperty
keyword 'db' for what Andrey needs. The UI in Cayenne modeler will
work well in that way I think, but let's see when that is done what
you and Andrey think about this.
