There's no single place where we can do that?

info is created in QAPISchemaParser.__init__()'s loop:

            expr_info = {'file': fname, 'line': self.line,
                         'parent': self.incl_info}

We obviously don't know the name there.

It's stored in QAPISchemaParser.exprs together with the expression
dictionary:

                expr_elem = {'expr': expr,
                             'info': expr_info}
                self.exprs.append(expr_elem)

QAPISchema.__init__() filters it through check_exprs()

            self.exprs = check_exprs(QAPISchemaParser(open(fname, "r")).exprs)

but check_exprs() should go away.

That leaves _def_exprs().  It currently can't, because the _def_FOO()
don't return anything, unlike the _make_BAR().

Your solution might be the simplest one...  Let's see how much use the
later commits get out of it.

However, I'd prefer

        name = info['name'] = expr['event']

because that makes it easier to see the definition of name, which is the
one that gets used further down in the functions.
