Description
For many simple methods, the first sentence is often a near duplicate of the text provided for the `@return` tag. To help avoid such duplication, the `@return` tag has been enhanced so that it can be used as an inline tag at the beginning of the comment, to provide the text for both the first sentence, and the description of the return value.
