-------------------------------+-----------------------------
 It appears that the use of `@return void` should not be used for method or
 function !DocBlocks:

 - http://stackoverflow.com/a/2061559 (See: "The datatype should be a valid
 PHP type (int, string, bool, etc), a class name for the type of object
 returned, or simply "mixed"."
 - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PHPDoc (See: "This tag should not be used
 for constructors or methods defined with a void return type.")

 What are your thoughts about removing this altogether?
