Nothing need to be declared twice: the phplint meta-code is "orthogonal"
to the DocBlock meta-code, since they use different conventions on
multi-line comments. The phplint meta-code just add some info for the
validator.

Sure, it should be better an integrated system that include either
meta-code for the validator and meta-code for the documentation system.
By now I'm concentrating on extensions to the PHP language that are
usefull for the validator. The documentation capabilities may be an
interesting additional feature for phplint, but this is not the primary
goal of the validator.
