> I've bumped into "describe pretty" feature...which was probably a usefull
> thing when it was introduced....but I haven't seen it documented anywhere ...
> google

> are only about the implementation of the feature.

> this feature makes it possible to render column comments more nicely...
> I think beeline is already able to address formatting issues like this at a
> much wider scale; so it might be ok to remove the 'describe pretty'
> support...or at least I think it would be better to put efforts into
> displaying things on beeline more nicely
