[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/4] qom: Replace "automatic arrayification"

[Markus Armbruster]

"Automatic arrayification" is a convenience feature for creating a
bunch of properties with a common type, accessors and so forth, named
in a peculiar way: "foo[0]", "foo[1]", ...  It's implemented by making
property names ending with "[*]" magical.  The magic is uncalled for,
as names can be just as well generated separately from adding
properties.
