    input: Document why x-input-send-event is still experimental · 513e7cdb
    Eric Blake 提交于
    The x-input-send-event command was introduced in 2.2 with mention
    that it is experimental, but now that several releases have elapsed
    without any changes, it would be nice to document why that was done
    and should still remain experimental in 2.5.
    
    Meanwhile, our documentation states that we prefer 'lower-case',
    rather than 'CamelCase', for qapi enum values.  The InputButton and
    InputAxis enums violate this convention.  However, because they are
    currently used primarily for generating code that is used internally;
    and their only exposure through QMP is via the experimental
    'x-input-send-event' command, we are free to change their spelling.
    Of course, it would be nicer to delay such a change until the same
    time we promote the command to non-experimental.  Adding
    documentation will help us remember to do that rename.
    
    We have plans to tighten the qapi generator to flag instances of
    inconsistent use of naming conventions; if that lands first, it
    will just need to whitelist these exceptions until the time we
    settle on the final interface.
    
    Fix a typo in the docs for InputAxis while at it.
