To print out the type of a variable, I normally just use
writeln(x.type : string);
However, this doesn't print out the fully qualified name (which is useful when one is debugging shadowed variables). Is there a way to do this?
How can one print out the fully qualified type of a Chapel variable?

Unfortunately, I don't think Chapel has any support for that today. Off the top of my head, it seems like it would be reasonable to request a routine in the Reflection module that would take a symbol as an argument and give back its fully qualified module path as a string. If that would be of interest, I'd suggest opening a feature request on Chapel's GitHub issues page.
