+ * qImmutable: state is fully restorable via device
+ *   [re-]initialization/realization
+ *
+ * qDerived: state can be fully reconstructed from other fields (and will be,
+ *   via [re-]initialization of the device or a separate hook)
+ *
+ * qBroken: state should (or possibly should) be saved, but isn't. mostly an aid
+ *   for device developers having issues with serialization of a particular
+ *   field, committed code should contain these except in special circumstances
+ *
+ * qOptional: <field> should only be serialized if the field by the name of
+ *   has_<field> is true
+ *
+ * qElsewhere: state should be serialized, but is done so elsewhere (for
+ *   instance, by another device with a pointer to the same data)
+ *
+ * qSize(field): for static/dynamically-allocated arrays. specifies the field
+ *   in the structure containing the number of elements that should be
+ *   serialized. if argument is wrapped in parenthesis it is instead interpreted
+ *   as an expression that should be invaluated to determine the size.
+ *
+ * qProperty(<property name> [, <default value>]): specifies that field is a
+ *   qdev-style property. all properties of the struct are then accessible via
+ *   QIDL_PROPERTIES(<device name>) macro.
