+ * Retrieve the unqualified variant of the given type, removing as

+ *

+ *
+ * \code
+ * typedef int Integer;
+ * typedef const Integer CInteger;
+ * typedef CInteger DifferenceType;
+ * \endcode
+ *
+ * Executing \c clang_getUnqualifiedType() on a \c CXType that

+ * \c Integer, that has no qualifiers.
+ *
+ * And, executing \c clang_getUnqualifiedType() on the type of the
+ * first argument of the following function declaration:
+ *
+ * \code
+ * void foo(const int);
+ * \endcode
+ *
+ * Will return a type representing \c int, removing the \c const
+ * qualifier.
+ *
+ * Sugar over array types is not desugared.
+ *
+ * A type can be checked for qualifiers with \c
+ * clang_isConstQualifiedType(), \c clang_isVolatileQualifiedType()
+ * and \c clang_isRestrictQualifiedType().
+ *
+ * A type that resulted from a call to \c clang_getUnqualifiedType
+ * will return \c false for all of the above calls.
