sample classes

When generating doc block for a method returning property containing array of objects does not recognize returned type.

To reproduce: 
Create classes class MyCollection and ArrayDereferencing. In class ArrayDereferencing define private property myCollection. Create doc block for property and set type to MyCollection[]. Add method getMyCollection returning myCollection to the same class. Generate doc block for method getMyCollection.

Actual result:
Type of returned value is not set: @return type 

Expected result: 
Set type to returned property type: @return MyCollection[]

It's not supported...it should be an enhancement.

OK. From the user perspective in cases similar to this it's hard to distinguish if functionality is not supported or there is a problem in implemented functionality. My reasoning was that both returned arrays and objects will be recognized therefore @return MyCollection[] notation should be recognized as well.

Bottom line is that I don't care if it is a enhancement or a bug as long as the problem is going to be resolved. :) Of course I understand that you do care.

Yes I understand :) I'll try to solve it, but as I remember, it's maybe not so simple as it looks like...but mayby I'm wrong :)
