mypy isn't fond of allowing you to check for bool membership in a
collection of str elements. Guard this lookup for precisely when we were
given a name.

Spoilsport.

Peeking at the patch... aha, it's about check_type()'s parameter
@allow_dict.

@allow_dict tells us whether an anonymous type is allowed, and also
whether its member names may violate the naming rules.

* a str: allow anonymous type, waive member naming rules if @allow_dict
  is in .name_case_whitelist.

  Used for checking struct's 'data' and union's 'base'.

* True: allow anonymous type, enforce member naming rules

  Used for checking 'data' of commands and events.  Waiving the naming
  rules is simply not implemented there.

* False (default): do not allow anonymous type

Perhaps the "is in .name_case_whitelist" check should be lifted into the
two callers that pass a str.  We could then turn the parameter into an
enum.  Meh.  Perhaps a separate @permit_upper parameter, only valid with
allow_dict=True.  Meh again.

Splitting check_type() into multiple functions feels more promising.
Not now.

Slightly more compact:

       permit_upper = (isinstance(allow_dict, str)
                       and allow_dict in info.pragma.name_case_whitelist)

Matter of taste.
