*shrug* - one API has needed it, other folk outside libpcp may too - since the
code already exists, no compelling reason not to make it available.  It'd be
similarly unfortunate if we end up having to sprinkle calls to
register_event_metrics throughout libpcp ...

Not certain that is guaranteed to precede all possible accesses, but sure,
worth experimenting with I guess.
