c9d4070991 "file-posix: Add dynamic-auto-read-only QAPI feature"). In

We represent the parse tree as OrderedDict. We fetch optional dict
members with .get(). So far, so good.
We represent null literals as None. .get() returns None both for
"absent" and for "present, value is the null literal". Uh-oh.
Test features-if-invalid exposes this bug: "'if': null" is
misinterpreted as absent "if".
We added null to the schema language to "allow [...] an explicit
default value" (commit e53188ada5 "qapi: Allow true, false and null in
schema json", v2.4.0). Hasn't happened; null is still unused except
as generic invalid value in tests/.
To fix, we'd have to replace .get() by something more careful, or
represent null differently. Feasible, but we got more and bigger fish
to fry right now. Remove the null literal from the schema language.
Replace null in tests by another invalid value.
Test features-if-invalid now behaves as it should.

events. I hate that. Fix the sections documenting types, commands
and events to provide accurate syntax, and point to "Features" and
"Configuring the schema" for details.
We talk about "(top-level) expressions other than include and pragma".
Adopt more convenient terminology: a (top-level) expression is either
a directive (include or pragma) or a definition (anything else).

"object" and "member name" instead.

Commands and events can define their argument type inline (default) or
by referring to another type ('boxed': true, since commit c818408e44
"qapi: Implement boxed types for commands/events", v2.7.0). The
unboxed inline definition is an (anonymous) struct type. The boxed
type may be a struct, union, or alternate type.
The latter is problematic: docs/interop/qemu-spec.txt requires the
value of the 'data' key to be a json-object, but any non-degenerate
alternate type has at least one branch that isn't.
Fortunately, we haven't made use of alternates in this context outside
