These are either structs or unions that are used in an inlinable
context: i.e. the generated documentation is likely to feature a
version of this documentation block that does not include the intro in
context of another command, event, or structure.

"Keep this consistent" is for developers, and should not go into user
reference documentation.
Let's leave this for another day, just take note of future work:
6. Move comments for developers out of doc comments

Trivial conflict with my "[PATCH 1/2] qapi/machine: Drop misleading (for

Not this patch's problem, but here goes anyway.
"URLs must start" applies to BlockdevOptionsCurlBase member @url. We
should turn this into a proper link eventually.
Pattern: the base type's documentation needs to be amended somehow.
Here, we need to amend it to restrict the values os the base's member
@url.
This splits the documentation for @url. Amendments are easy to miss.
At some point, we might want to think of ways to avoid this.

Intro ends with colon, which is unusual, and doesn't really work with
the way documentation gets rendered:
Options for creating a block device. Many options are available
for all block devices, independent of the block driver:
Members:
* driver ("BlockdevDriver") -- block driver name
[More non-variant members...]
* force-share ("boolean", *optional*) -- force share all
permission on added nodes. Requires read-only=true. (Since
2.10)
* When "driver" is "blkdebug": The members of
"BlockdevOptionsBlkdebug".

The second sentence lacks a period.
Let's leave both of these for another day, just take note of future
work:
7. Clean up intros to consist of sentences. Sentences start with a
capital letter and end with a period.

This patch converts intro sections that are immediately followed by a
"TODO:" that was formerly used to demarcate the stub member insertion
point.

I see output change from
Command query-memory-size-summary (Since: 2.11)
Return the amount of initially allocated and present hotpluggable
(if enabled) memory in bytes.
Return:
"MemoryInfo"
Example::
-> { "execute": "query-memory-size-summary" }
<- { "return": { "base-memory": 4294967296, "plugged-memory": 0 } }
to
