Yes, that could be usefull. Replacing XYZXYZXYZXYZ by XYZXYZ...

I can't rember what that field had been planned for. It could be that it
is still there from Victor Röder. I'm not sure though. I guess the idea
had been to differentiate eg between properties, protected members,
public members, .... and eg show them with different colors. The type
field isn't really documented and kate didn't use it yet, so I guess
nobody else is using it either, so it could be used for your purpose and
should be documented in the interfaces in the next kde release.
