It helps reading the code of classes that have many methods, maybe
some of them with similar sounding names, but only fsw implementing
some not so well-known interface.

For that reason, I'd even like @Override to allow a value indicating
the class or interface where the overridden method lives. For now,
I'm (ab-)using @see javadoc for this purpose, but that isn't part of
the method's signature and therefore doesn't show up as prominently
in IDEs' code completion suggestions etc.
