def _NormalizeFullyQualifiedName(name):
return name.lstrip('<STR_LIT:.>')<EOL>
Remove leading period from fully-qualified type name.

    Due to b/13860351 in descriptor_database.py, types in the root namespace are
    generated with a leading period. This function removes that prefix.

    Args:
      name: A str, the fully-qualified symbol name.

    Returns:
      A str, the normalized fully-qualified symbol name.
