An inline Taglet representing the inheritDoc tag. This tag should only be used with a method. It is used to inherit documentation from overriden and implemented methods.

This is NOT part of any supported API. If you write code that depends on this, you do so at your own risk. This code and its internal interfaces are subject to change or deletion without notice.
