i consider a command-line option the best solution but i would be fine =
with the @global tag as well. you know your established user community =
best; thus, you will make the right decision to avoid breaking something =
for them anyway.

well, we are working with java *and* rhino and as i already said we =
really need a good and meaningful javascript documentation feature. =
(certainly, a java version of jsdoc would be much more valuable for us =
than the perl one -- no matter how excellent it already is.) do you =
think we could join our forces here?

btw. i found some more issues; do you want me to report them as bugs =
immediately or is it ok if i post them here again?

ciao,
