If it's just syntax that doesn't change behaviour, it's really just
documentation anyway, and if people are so desperate to dig into the code
that they can't write a minimal docblock (or so lazy that they won't), how
likely is it that they'll correctly add this new indicator?

If you want to be explicit, don't put off docblocks until later (writing
them before you've even implemented the function can be a great way of
clarifying your design), and use an IDE or CI tool that will tell you when
they're missing or incorrect.
