I would like to give a description to my export variables in Godot 4, but cannot find a way to do so.
While researching I found discussions with the following, but seems like they removed this:

## my description
@export var speed :float = 5.0

(tested in 4.0.2)

Hmmm… The ## syntax does seem to work (the text is shown in the variable’s tooltip in the inspector), but I had to restart the editor to see my just-added descriptions. That feels like a bug, but I’m not really familiar with this work…
