I think this should be done in a systematic way, and one which is an
injection[1].  What if someone later introduces a field called "ty" in
the same struct as one called "type" ?

I don't know what a good convention would be in ocaml, but for example
you could prefix everything with "idl_" (including names starting "idl_").
