We could have syncqt.pl check for Q_DECLARE_TYPEINFO(T, X) for any T it 
generates a header for, but that doesn't work for several reasons:

1. It doesn't catch nested types
2. It doesn't work when the typeinfo is declared without the macro, e.g. with
    QTypeInfoMerger.
3. It doesn't catch private types (both in _p.h and .cpp)
4. It doesn't catch enums (Q_RELOCATABLE_TYPE will be set for enums, but in
    private API, we still want to manually set Q_PRIMITIVE_TYPE).

Of course, one could use some GCC or Clang output to get a list of all 

I doubt there's a better way currently than manually marking all types. That's 
why it's important to insisit on it in reviews.
