By not using / * * to start your comment block ?

  If you're going to have different syntax for annotations and actual comments, why not choose a syntax that's properly different and not just a weird mutation?

    Because they want something that is still valid PHP.

      But why? Do I misunderstand that these annotations change the meaning of the code? Why would you want something that's still valid PHP without them, but means something else?
