Description
IIRC, we currently consider such an appearance of `@foo` to be an invalid tag (or, if it is a recognized one like `@return`, maybe a valid tag? or maybe never a valid tag because we're upset that the previous inline tag was never closed?). It is invalid... until Java 15, at which point https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8241780 saves us.
On those grounds, we don't format the Javadoc at all (which is not necessarily a great failure mode, but that's another issue).
Maybe we should just allow this, at least for cases that are not normally Javadoc tags, like `@Override`?
