No - even though it was used less aggressively, it still made merging
gen_visit_fields() easier, and "using it in more places" does not imply
"in all possible places". So I think, other than the tense correction,
we are okay.

Hmm. In qapi-visit.c, there are no blank lines between
visit_start_struct() and the matching visit_end_struct(). In
qapi-event.c, pre-patch we had (roughly):

visit_start_struct()
check err

visit fields
...

visit_end_struct()
check err

This patch deleted the first blank line (after visit_start_struct()) but
not the second (prior to visit_end_struct()), so the post-patch looks a
bit lopsided.  But removing both blank lines doesn't seem too bad to me,
if you wanted to squash this in (not sure the line numbers are right):

I'm fine if you want to do either (or nothing) when turning this into a
pull request.

Or the alternative is to keep generated output unchanged, by keeping the
newline:
