It's funny you should ask. I wrote an explanation in the manual, but then
commented it out because I wanted to keep the manual short.
This feature prevents the compiler from interpreting too many comments as
annotations, since some comments that start with @ may not be annotations.
For example, I've had trouble with pre-existing comments of the form "@
symbolname" in JML-annotated code.
