So, are we going to have a standard of some sort, so that we don't have
@wanker tags and such?
Just so that people like me, or new coders know what to do and don't have to
wing-it?
Probably what you've suggested are perfectly fine

So unless someone has complaints/suggestions I'll set up a bashdoc wiki page
tomorrow
I'll add more junk to it as I continue in this endeavor

Hmm? Wha?
Oh, any can be used, @param is the only one treated specialy.

The specific set of tags to use is an smgl specific issue, and should
not be documented in bashdoc. Most of the tags I mentioned above are
actualy used in the bashdoc source.

I would suggest the following:
@param: when order is important
@Arguments: when order is unimportant
@Stdout: what is dumped to stdout by this function
@Stderr: whe is dumped to stderr
@Stdin: what is expected from stdin
@return: what the return values mean
@Globals: global variables used

Some others are that are used:
@Type API: if it's an API function
@Synopsis
@Copyright
@License

Keep in mind that
<@function some_function> will make a link to the function in the docs.
I blieve the function is limited to being in the same file. I can't
recall at the moment.

Any funny symbols will not be translated for you, so putting <something>
in the comments would be a no-no.
