hmm, the point is that if you want understand the strange "name" of
certains c++ source files you must use qualified and unqualified name :(

maybe, to reduce the memory usage we can remove the "debug" information
that i've attached to the nodes(== QString AST::text() ) and make the
AST::type() a pure method.

we can also, remove children(),appendChild(),removeChild() from AST,
because now we can use TreeParser to implement Tree Walkers.
