Hi Rouslan,
here, what does Items mean? For example, using your repo, we can dig
down to the column level in the navigation panel, so is column an item?

They are explained in Documentation.html (however there was a typo that
I just fixed) but in short:

- you can have a db or table comment and these may appear as tooltips in
the navi panel

- you can reverse the behavior (always show the comment in the navi
panel, and the real name as a tooltip)

I'm not sure if there features are popular and I would not cry if they
disappeared.

Sure.
