Description:
------------
Can the use of docBlock templates be included when the getDocComment() is called?

Reproduce code:
---------------
class SomeClass {

 /**#@+
   * @access public
   */

 /**
   * @return string
   */
 public function someMethod() { return "" }

 /**#@-*/
}
$o = new ReflectionMethod("SomeClass","someMethod");
echo $o->getDocComment();

Expected result:
----------------
/**
  * Comments...
  * @access public
  * @return string
  */

Actual result:
--------------
/**
  * Comments...
  * @return string
  */

Phpdoc templates are rarely used, not widely supported by tooling, and absent from contemporary phpdoc specifications. Supporting this feature as described would require us to implement partial phpdoc processing inside PHP core (while currently we just return the doc comment as given). With that in mind, I think I can safely say that we will not support this.
