      When the @param tag in a doc comment has a variable but no textual description,
      nothing pertaining to the parameter shows up in the html file, but the user
      is not given a warning. For example, if the following appeared in a doc comment,
           @param x
      no warning would be given to the user, yet nothing pertaining the parameter x
      would appear in the html file.

      The @exception tag will give the user a warning in similar sitations in which
      it has no text. For example, the tag
           @exception GenericException
      will give the user a warning that there's no text accompanying the @exception
      tag.

      A similar warning for the @param tag would be useful.
