Hi,

i see your point in that this would be easy and it would probably work. But
it sounds a little static to me. Wouldn't we want to have some pre-defined
and re-usable comments?

Also, we definitely should have this for regular and multidimensional data
entry as well. I guess it is needed and otherwise we are making things
inconsistent...
