Tag Modifiers for @function about ldoc HOT 3 OPEN

In the documentation I see

Ay tag may have tag modifiers. For instance, you may say @\param[type=number] and this associates the modifier type with value number with this particular param tag. A shorthand can be introduced for this common case, which is "@tparam "; in the same way @\treturn is defined.

But in the source code there is

-- any tag (except name and classs) may have associated modifiers,
-- in the form @tag[m1,...] where  m1 is either name1=value1 or name1.

as @function is parsed as class + name, I can't use modifiers on this tag.

What could be done at first, is to ignore the modifiers (LDoc should not throw an error on this)

from ldoc.

Cool, latest version (1.3.5) no longer considers this an error (would apply also to module etc). We aren't yet passing the tag modifiers through, however, so I'll keep the issue open.

Anybody understand the status of this issue? In v1.5.0 I'm getting the original error again, which comments suggest should have changed. Is this a regression or just an indication that the other half of this issue was never addressed?
