These are an artifact of how types are structured but serve little
purpose, merely showing that the type is sugared in some way. For
example, ElaboratedType's existence means struct S gets printed as
'struct S':'struct S' in the AST, which is unnecessary visual clutter.
Note that skipping the second print when the types have the same string
matches what we do for diagnostics, where the aka will be skipped.
Summary:
Ninja is no longer an experimental tool, documentation changed to
reflect this.

Summary:
`ASTPrinter` allows setting the ouput to any O-Stream, but that printer creates source-code-like syntax (and is also marked with a `FIXME`). The nice, colourful, mostly human-readable `ASTDumper` only works on the standard output, which is not feasible in case a user wants to see the AST of a file through a code navigation/comprehension tool.
This small addition of an overload solves generating a nice colourful AST block for the users of a tool I'm working on, [[ http://github.com/Ericsson/CodeCompass | CodeCompass ]], as opposed to having to duplicate the behaviour of definitions that only exist in the anonymous namespace of implementation TUs related to this module.
