I'm not sure what's so bad about our parser that makes it worthwhile to: 1) uglify all tests and make them inconsistent with the QAPI schemas, which also uses single-quoted strings 2) waste time finding a replacement for % interpolation (the best replacement here would be to rewrite the tests in Python IMHO, but that's not a small ask) Just let's remove the weird (to not say worse) usage of QDict/QList to store tokens...
