There is a tokenizer for this already that Greg wrote ages ago in pecl:

parse your style of annotations in docblocks?


To be honest; I haven't had the time yet to learn and apply extension
programming and work / expand on that. I would love for an extension to
come to life or even a core module so that we can all standardize on it.

As far as I am concerned I am not advocating my personal way or that of
phpDocumentor but of the PHPDoc standard which is above that.

And as a last note to this mail I would like to add that annotations are
not part of PHPDoc. The draft that I have written will allow for the
annotation syntax (current PHPDoc does not) but actual handling of
annotations will always be out of scope as far as I am concerned.
