You do not need to define, just start using it.

It will be hard, since comments are dropped during the parsing phase by
design.
I suggest filling the pn metadata manually. It is much easier than
pre-processing a beancount file...
For example with "comment" metadata:
2020-04-29 * "Bauhaus"
Expenses:House 5,000.00 HUF
comment:"Cutter"
Expenses:House 2,000.00 HUF
comment:"Strings"
Expenses:House 1,000.00 HUF
comment:"Duct tape"
Assets:Bank -8,000.00 HUF
I still hope that eventually Beancount will be able to parse posting and
transaction comments and put it into metadata, so I could use the following
with the same meaning:
2020-04-29 * "Bauhaus"
Expenses:House 5,000.00 HUF ; Cutter
Expenses:House 2,000.00 HUF ; Strings
Expenses:House 1,000.00 HUF ; Duct tape
Assets:Bank -8,000.00 HUF
