Backwards; you mean:

but this one is right.

I'd love to have this formalized semantics of what you plan to parse
documented in docs/qapi-code-gen.txt, as a reference we can point to for
new commands that don't comply.

I will forbear the actual review detailed for now, in part because it
may need another rebase, but the idea seems nice.  But I'll do a quick
read-through review:

Can we please use GPLv2+ for this file? GPLv2-only is a pain (yes,
