Use the debugging options to find out more about the parse tree, for
example, run:

swig -debug-module 4

You'll see the information is spread across the "type" attribute and the
"decl" attribute. See the comments in symbol.c.

I'm not sure what you are trying to do, but take a look at
Allocate::function_return_type() to achieve what you want.
Language::cDeclaration() modifies the type for use in
membervariableHandler().
