`QualType` is a convenience wrapper around a `Type` and so I think it's 
reasonable based on that convenience alone. We have some matchers that return a 
`QualType`, like `asString()`, which I could imagine a user wanting to use with 
`cxxBaseSpecifier()`. e.g., `cxxBaseSpecifier(asString("SomeClass"))`
