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

[Sterling Augustine via cfe-dev]

So clang folks, where should this new code to calculate the complete, fully
qualified name of arbitrary qualtypes go?

My best guess is as a new file in clang/lib/AST, but it's not a great fit.

Does the license as listed in the file (reproduced below) create any issues?
