Description
When a subclass has no documentation for a method that overrides a
supercalss method, javadoc will copy the documentation from the superclass.
I'm trying to document a set of subclasses where I want the methods that
are unique to the subclasses to "stand out" from the methods defined by
the superclass.  It would be nice to have an option to override this
copying of superclass documentation.
