[cfe-dev] Getting fully qualified names of random qualtypes.

Hi Sterling,

Of course :).  I agree that this feature belongs in clang proper.

AST.cpp is pretty much standalone (depends only on clang and llvm)

Thanks,
Philippe.

PS.  A part that has not yet been integrated in AST.cpp is the adding of default
template parameters (for user classes where that parameter might matter for I/O)
and can be found in:
https://root.cern.ch/gitweb?p=root.git;a=blob;f=core/metautils/src/TMetaUtils.cxx
in the routines
     ROOT::TMetaUtils::GetNormalizedType
     ROOT::TMetaUtils::AddDefaultParameters
     ROOT::TMetaUtils::KeepNParams
