The type declaration in DocBlocks dates back to a time when type-hinting was not part of the language. IMO there is no reason to keep the type as mandatory part of tags like @param. We should be be allowed to omit the type part if it does not add any new information.
Affected tags: @param @return Any thoughts about this? Could not find an ongoing (or ended) discussion about this, if i missed it, please point me to it.
