How about a command that actually shows the comments on an object
without having to read the system tables?

Security grants for creating and viewing the comments?

Right now you can use various tricks to grant and revoke rights on
system tables, giving various levels of security, but there is no
non-system table approach to do this.

If you can't view the comments or restrict access, you will have
people going back to using the system tables and ignoring the new
extensions.

All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure 
contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, 
security threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this 
data and makes sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
