Indeed - it was my attempt to write a structured set of QAPI that led to
the more rigid and more verbose layout, rather than shorthand. On the
other hand, there's nothing stopping us from stating that QAPI itself
can be extended to express new concepts (after all, we want to express
the full structure of events as part of qapi-schema.json someday); we
even have the 'qmp_capabilities' handshake to advertise whether use of
such extensions will be understood by the client.
