We consciously chose in commit 1a9a507b to hide QAPI type names
from the introspection output on the wire, but added a command
line option -u to unmask the type name when doing a debug build.
The unmask option still remains useful to some other forms of
automated analysis, so it will not be removed; however, when it
is not in use, the generated .c file can be hard to read. At
the time when we first introduced masking, the generated file
consisted only of a monolithic C string, so there was no clean
way to inject any comments.
Later, in commit 7d0f982b, we switched the generation to output
a QLit object, in part to make it easier for future addition of
conditional compilation. In fact, commit d626b6c1 took advantage
of this by passing a tuple instead of a bare object for encoding
the output of conditionals. By extending that tuple, we can now
interject strategic comments.
For now, type name debug aid comments are only output once per
meta-type, rather than at all uses of the number used to encode
the type within the introspection data. But this is still a lot
more convenient than having to regenerate the file with the
unmask operation temporarily turned on - merely search the
generated file for '"NNN" =' to learn the corresponding source
name and associated definition of type NNN.
The generated qapi-introspect.c changes only with the addition
of comments, such as:

d626b6c1 Tue Jul 03 15:56:42 GMT 2018 Marc-André Lureau <marcandre.lureau@redhat.com> qapi-introspect: add preprocessor conditions to generated QLit
This commit adds 'ifcond' conditions to top-level QLit objects.
Future work will add them to object and enum type members, i.e. within
QLit objects.
Extend the QLit generator to_qlit() to accept (@obj, @cond) tuples in
addition to just @obj. The tuple causes the QLit generated for
objects for @obj with #if/#endif conditions for @cond.
