0.8.3

Minor Analysis Improvements

• The predicate UnboundGeneric::getName now prints the number of type parameters as a `N suffix, instead of a <,...,> suffix. For example, the unbound generic type System.Collections.Generic.IList<T> is printed as IList`1 instead of IList<>.
• The predicates hasQualifiedName, getQualifiedName, and getQualifiedNameWithTypes have been deprecated, and are instead replaced by hasFullyQualifiedName, getFullyQualifiedName, and getFullyQualifiedNameWithTypes, respectively. The new predicates use the same format for unbound generic types as mentioned above.
• These changes also affect models-as-data rows that refer to a field or a property belonging to a generic type. For example, instead of writing

• The models-as-data format for types and methods with type parameters has been changed to include the names of the type parameters. For example, instead of writing
