How to deal with 3rd-party annotations as a library author? #308
Description
Apologies if that has already been discussed.
In the php-enum project we recently added Psalm annotations (myclabs/php-enum#111). For example @template T for generics support.
Users are now reporting Doctrine Annotations errors:
The annotation "@template" in class MyCLabs\Enum\Enum was never imported. Did you maybe forget to add a "use" statement for this annotation?
(see myclabs/php-enum#113)
Years ago I had that problem as a user, and manually disabled that error in Doctrine Annotation via configuration.
However, as a library author, what can I do to avoid impacting users? Right now I feel like I am breaking users applications by simply adding a comment, it doesn't feel good :/
