While looking for other existing Sniffs I realised that both the PEAR and the Squiz standards bundled with the Code Sniffer come with a great set of Sniffs aiming to check file/class/method/members phpdocs.

This is about to examine them closely, view differences with current moodlechecker and decide if switching to codechecker is the better way to go.

At first sight, it seems that 95% of our rules are supported, and only a few extra Sniffs would be necessary to verify category/package/subpackage information and other minor details.
