I expect the current MMV PMDA could be converted to use this... no?
Or at least extended relatively simply to get to this point (names
are already there, could drive the PMIDs from the mmap file too).
I pushed a change into my dev branch earlier which allows clients to
specify the metric semantics, and currently working on string values
(should go in tomorrow). There's ondisk MMV version/format changes
for both ... so feel free to hack on that branch if it helps.
