This is a minor re-work of the entrypoint script. It isolates a

+QAPI Generator
+
+This script is the main entry point for generating C code from the QAPI schema.
PEP 8: For flowing long blocks of text with fewer structural
restrictions (docstrings or comments), the line length should be limited
to 72 characters.


Eugh. OK, but I don't have a good way to check or enforce this,
admittedly. I have to change my emacs settings to understand this when
I hit the reflow key. I don't know if the python mode has a
context-aware reflow length.

("I don't disagree, but I'm not immediately sure right now how I will
make sure I, or anyone else, complies with this. Low priority as a
result?")

Emacs Python mode is close enough by default: fill-paragraph (bound to
M-q) uses variable fill-column, which defaults to 70.  If you want the
extra two columns PEP 8 grants you, I can show you how to bump it to 72
just for Python mode.

You can use fill-paragraph for code, too.  I don't myself, because I
disagree with its line breaking decisions too often (and so does PEP 8).
A better Python mode would break code lines more neatly, and with the
width defaulting to 79.


Yeah, how do I set the reflow to 72 for specific modes?

I tend to do a lot of refactoring and "prototyping" in Pycharm, but when it comes to bread and butter edits I still prefer emacs. I kinda bounce between 'em a lot. Having emacs DTRT is still useful to me.

OK. I don't mind trying to foster a consistent tone. I clearly
didn't. I will add a note to my style guide todo.

I give you permission to change the voice in any of my docstrings, or
to adjust the phrasing to be more technically accurate as you see
fit. You are the primary maintainer of this code, of course, and you
will know best.

It will be quicker to give you full permission to just change any of
the docstrings as you see fit than it will be to play review-respin
ping-pong.

Me rewriting your commits without your consent is putting words in your
mouth, which I don't want to do.

We can still reduce ping-pong: whenever I can, I don't just say "this
needs improvement", I propose improvements.  If you disagree, we talk.
Else, if you have to respin, you make a reasonable effort to take them.
Else, the remaining improvements are trivial (because no respin), and
I'll make them in my tree.


I appreciate the consideration. They're not just "my" words, though, they are "our" words!

I do give you permission to touch up things like punctuation, voice, etc. If I dislike the changes I can always yelp at you post-hoc when you post the PR email.

So I'll reiterate that I am definitely happy with such changes -- the precision of the technical writing here is not my strong suit as I do not know QAPI as intimately as you, and it's not the focus of this series. I don't think of it as a personal offense that someone would copy-edit these things.

If you're not comfortable doing it, that's OK too, but I'm definitely okay with things like comment and docstring edits in particular. It's just something that feels hard to predict.

(Anyway, I made this change. There are likely other voice and line length changes needed, but I think I will try to address those systematically when I lift missing-docstring for pylint. Probably I will craft a series that creates a style guide, enables sphinx, lifts missing-docstring, and performs this same style of cleanup, going module-by-module.)
