Hi, welcome to the list!

For patch reviews, we try to reply in-line, below the original post.

I'm not attached to 'kind', but 'category' is perhaps too broad. 
Category in this particular domain might refer to the difference between 
a "Directive" (include, pragma) and a Definition (enum, struct, union, 
alternate, command, event)

(For more information on the QAPI Schema Language that we are parsing 
and validating here, see docs/devel/qapi-code-gen.txt if you are 
curious. Ultimately it is a JSON-like format that permits multiple 
objects per document and allows comments. We use these structures to 
generate types and command interfaces for our API protocol, QMP.)

Ultimately I am using 'kind' for the 'type of expression', but type is 
an extremely overloaded word when parsing a language in another language!

We also use 'meta' nearby for semantically the same thing, but with 
different typing.

Thanks for looking!
