Issue ID: 13277
Summary: The base class in the JSON output is always
unqualified
Product: D
Version: D2
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P1

Currently in the JSON DMD produces, the "base" property of a "class" node is
always the unqualified name of the base class. This means that, in order to
determine what class that property is actually referencing, you have to
determine what modules are imported at the location the class is declared, as
well as have access to a JSON file generated for those modules, and then search
those imported modules, dealing with selective imports, alias imports, and
public imports as well. This is way more work that should be needed. I instead
propose that the "base" property should contain the qualified name of the base
class, which would require much less work to resolve, as it would be possible
to resolve that name in a direct top-down approach rather than a very indirect
inside out approach.
