For two out of four error messages, it takes pains to report errors for "array of T" instead of just T. Odd. Let's examine the errors. * Unknown element type, e.g. tests/qapi-schema/args-array-unknown.json: Member 'array' of 'data' for command 'oops' uses unknown type 'array of NoSuchType' To make sense of this, you need to know that 'array of NoSuchType' refers to '[NoSuchType]'. Easy enough. However, simply reporting Member 'array' of 'data' for command 'oops' uses unknown type 'NoSuchType' is at least as easy to understand. * Element type's meta-type is inadmissible, e.g. tests/qapi-schema/returns-whitelist.json: 'returns' for command 'no-way-this-will-get-whitelisted' cannot use built-in type 'array of int' 'array of int' is technically not a built-in type, but that's pedantry. However, simply reporting 'returns' for command 'no-way-this-will-get-whitelisted' cannot use built-in type 'int' avoids the issue, and is at least as easy to understand. * The remaining two errors are unreachable, because the array checking ensures that value is a string. Thus, reporting some errors for "array of T" instead of just T works, but dosn't really improve things. Drop it.
