Hello! That is a good point, there would be no file-level doc block in the RFC. Here is my reasoning for not including it in the RFC: Since the motivation for this came from the desire for metadata for PHP structures, it seemed inappropriate to include metadata at the file level (since it's not a php structure).
As for the @Validator('blahbla'), I had thought it could be replicated with: /** * @Validator blahbla */ How to do multiple arguments would be up to user-land functions that used the parsed doc comments, but one possibility is: /** * @Validator foo bar baz */ then when you wanted to retrieve these, you could do explode(' ', $tags['Validator']); or similar. However, more specific syntax could be added to allow "arguments" in the doc block tags. I just feel like in this case absolute simplicity is important.
