      We need a way to explicitly mark a doc comment summary ("first
      sentence") break at an odd place. This will help with the transition
      from -breakiterator option (in 1.4.0) to it being the default in 1.5.0.

      The summary is the description that appears in the table listing
      the packages. classes or members.

      One possible solution is an inline {@summaryBreak} tag.
      Note that {@summaryBreak} does not necessarily indicate the end of
      the first sentence -- using it would make it possible to include two (or more)
      sentences in the summary.

      Another possible solution is a pair of block tags: @summary and @description.
      These would provide even greater flexibility, allowing the full description
      to begin with something other than the summary sentence.
