26761	Add 'help_text' property to methods in ModelAdmin.list_display	Derek Hohls	nobody	"It would be helpful to allow for a `help_text` property to be supplied to a custom field in the admin.

For example:

{{{
from django.contrib import admin

class AuthorAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    fields = ('name', 'title', 'view_birth_date')

    def view_birth_date(self, obj):
        return obj.birth_date

    view_birth_date.help_text = 'Authors birthday'
}}}

This help text could be displayed via a 'hover over' in the header(s) of the columns in the admin list display.
