it can't see your point.
if the current phpdoc would be enough, then they wouldn't propose the
annotation.
if you can't do everything with phpdoc that you could do with annotation,
then I can see 2 choice:
- forget the advanced stuff, but in this case, don try to sound as the
phpdoc would be an alternative
- extend the phpdoc support to cover the missing parts: how would that less
obscure? phpdoc isn't up for the task.
if you did read the RFC and did your research about the annotations, then
you know that.
