That should already happen today. If not, then this feature broke
somehow over the last years :(

either css.sdb.Column[.ColumnSettings].HelpText (more probable), or
css.sdbcx.Column.Description. Which reminds me of the fact that this
description feature needs some polishing, in that it should be passed to
the back-end when it supports column descriptions. We discussed this
long ago for PostgreSQL, but never found the time to actually address it.

Ciao
Frank
