As far as I can tell, this gives us very little over a normal
code reading because we have not marked up our source code.

If we mark up the source code for doxygen, does that buy us anything
besides more text in the pdf files ?

Or to put the question another way:  Is the doxygen markup
*semantically* useful for any automated code-munching tools ?

Will anything tell us "you have an inconsistency here" or "this is
ambiguous" etc ?

It's not that I am against marking up for doxygen, that is probably
a good idea at some level.

My primary interest is tools which will tell us something about our
source code which we didn't know before, not just pretty-print what
we told it ourselves.
