https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13277

          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
         Component: DMD
          Assignee: nobody puremagic.com
          Reporter: blah38621 gmail.com

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.
