Support PHPDoc comments

[nevadascout]

PHPDoc comments on methods, properties, etc should be displayed in the intellisense as extra information.

This feature depends on php-parser adding support for comments.

Type hinting should be included:

/**
 * @var string
 */
$test = "test";

Update the treebuilder to store the last doc comment that we find, and then if symbol definition, check the doc comment is the line above the symbol and apply information as required.

• Description/summary
• @var
• @param
• @return
• @throws
• @deprecated

This first pass will enable code completion to use the phpdoc comment typings, but only on top level variables.

Eg.

/** @var SomeClass */
$test = $otherObject;
$test->
//      ^ works here

$test->prop->
//            ^ won't work here yet

Any ETA on this feature? It would be awesome to have it!

@michalhudecek Not sure yet, parsing of phpdoc comments has to be added to the parser library that we are using before we can actually add this.

Anything I can do to speed it up?

Contributing to Glayzzle's php-parser project would help us tremendously!
