I see that the views have a comment field just like the regular tables, but is by default populated with the "VIEW" value. 

[TABLE_CATALOG] => 
[TABLE_SCHEMA] => xxx
[TABLE_NAME] => view__xxxx
[TABLE_TYPE] => VIEW
[ENGINE] => 
[VERSION] => 
[ROW_FORMAT] => 
[TABLE_ROWS] => 
[AVG_ROW_LENGTH] => 
[DATA_LENGTH] => 
[MAX_DATA_LENGTH] => 
[INDEX_LENGTH] => 
[DATA_FREE] => 
[AUTO_INCREMENT] => 
[CREATE_TIME] => 
[UPDATE_TIME] => 
[CHECK_TIME] => 
[TABLE_COLLATION] => 
[CHECKSUM] => 
[CREATE_OPTIONS] => 
[TABLE_COMMENT] => VIEW

When I am trying to create a view with a comment I get an error. 

CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW view__x AS
SELECT 
 * 
FROM `some_table`  
COMMENT = 'some comment'

Is there a way to modify the comment field or that field is used internally for something else and should stay like it is?

I've added a feature request to mysql.
