+Normalize and validate (context-free) QAPI schema expression structures.
+
+After QAPI expressions are parsed from disk, they are stored in
+recursively nested Python data structures using Dict, List, str, bool,
+and int. This module ensures that those nested structures have the
+correct type(s) and key(s) where appropriate for the QAPI context-free
+grammar.
+
+The QAPI schema expression language allows for syntactic sugar; this
+module also handles the normalization process of these nested
+structures.
+
+See `check_exprs` for the main entry point.
+
+See `schema.QAPISchema` for processing into native Python data
+structures and contextual semantic validation.
