           Summary: Web Inspector: code generator should introduce
                    typedefs for protocol types that are arrays
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Hardware: All
                OS: All

Example: say I want the following situation:

{
    "domain": "OverlayTypes",
    "description": "Exposes types to be used by the inspector overlay.",
    "types": [
        {
            "id": "Point",
            "type": "object",
            "properties": [
                { "name": "x", "type": "number" },
                { "name": "y", "type": "number" }
            ]
        },
        {
            "id": "Quad",
            "description": "A quad is a collection of 4 points, often representing a transformed rectangle. When initialized from a rect, the points are in clockwise order from top left.",
            "type": "array",
            "items": { "type": "Point" }
        }
    ]
}


Currently, there is no generated type name for Inspector::Protocol::OverlayTypes::Quad. Instead, you have to do Inspector::Protocol::Array<Inspector::Protocol::OverlayTypes::Point>. This is longwinded and makes the code hard to follow.
