Subject: Description field for tables and views

I think I already know the answer but asking here is probably quicker 
turnaround than researching it.

I've gotten into a "view bloat" scenario with many many custom views 
that I cannot remember what they actually do.  Is there any psql 
function/command to add a description field to a table or view 
definition in the system?  Would be nice to have a one line general text 
note capability to quickly see what a complicated view does when looking 
at the defintion via
# \dv+

Looks like the command has the field present, but not sure how to 
populate it.

am using PostgreSQL 13.xx in Debian.
