Currently in javadoc the summary (firstsentence) of an element is deciphered by a dot-space rule, or if required using BreakIterator.
It is hard to sometimes guess the users intention, and BreakIterator
can be complex and slow when used with other languages, which does not use the English grammar rules.
For all the reasons, instead of guessing the intentions we should provide a new tag ex:
{@summary This is the first sentence.} This is the second sentence.
Then it becomes crystal clear what the summary sentence(s) should be.
