I agree with this very much.
In Doctrine we used Docblocks only because its the only means of
implementing something that closely resembles native annotation support. I
would be happy if we would have a Docblock parser in SPL, so that all
libraries can agree on using its syntax, however ultimately its just
missing the point that language level annotations would still be very handy.
