After writing a bunch of YUI Doc documentation, I'm finding myself routinely wanting to just be able to do this:

@property {Foo} foo

Instead of:

@property foo
@type Foo

Since in the most common cases -- methods that take parameters -- I can put the type inline via brackets:

@method example
@param {Bar} bar The bar value.
@param {Baz} baz The baz value.
@return {Foo} foo The foo of the two.

So for properties, configs and attributes, do you guys think it might be possible to accept @property {type} name in addition to an explicit @type tag (needed for backwards compat)?

Sorry, thinking back to it I didn't found Object.create and defineProperty doesn't allow to set getters and setters... here where I found an example of working code which make it possible for some specific engines:

But well there still is an internal [[Get]] method to access property values
