 the benefit would be.  We'll have to put out a new release to make sense
 of these new lines anyway.  And we'll want to include tests.

 Yes, that's true.  Still it might be useful (especially for testing) to
 have something other than a bunch of if-else-if statements; maybe in form
 of an enum.

 > Speaking of, I think we accumulated enough changes for a new metrics-lib
 release in December.  Let's discuss that either here or at the next
 meeting.

 Yes, a December metrics-lib release makes sense!
