I have certainly wanted them many times - especially when using SOAP. Having WSDL auto-generation without compromising developer documentation and attempting to have user-land code parse phpdoc for this purpose seem{ed,s} counterintuitive. That said, introducing annotations is a HUGE undertaking and would require a ton of work with potentially little return. I do think it would be worth looking into in a future major release, but there are quite a few other things that would be more beneficial to the community for immediate discussions.
Did anyone write and RFC on this? guilhermeblanco has a good start.
