I see only one way to do this: add a comment to the rename clause...

class    CLOCK
inherit
   COUNTER
      rename
         value as time -- the time o'clock
      export {NONE}  all;
             {ANY}  time;
             {CLOCK_CONTROLLER}  increment
      end
end

... then short should display
time: INTEGER -- the time o'clock

Did I understand correctly your request? If so, could you open a 
SmartZilla request.

I'll also try to take this into account in the brand new eiffeldoc tool.
