    I have to disagree. To me, declaring a method via the @method tag (in rare cases) is equivalent to actually declaring it in a class/interface. Due to PHP limitations, the obvious lack of generics, and what I wrote earlier, I simply couldn't do it any other way. Take eg. HttpClientInterface from symfony/http-client-contracts or InputInterface from symfony/console, they had different reasons but the outcome is the same.
