The code below is what I'm currently using (confusion about Ideas vs
Historical Metrics not withstanding) to generate a JSON representation of
the captured data. My question is, is the use of the `
Google.Protobuf.Reflection.MessageDescriptor` and the use of Reflection
actually going to work? It "appears" to work.
