    I"m going to think about the user facing API in the next few days. For this 
one, can you do one change first? Have only a single flag that controls whether 
this is a data property or a metrics. 
    
    I informally polled a bunch of people who don't know Spark well but are 
very technical, and asked them to explain to me what "consistent" means, and 
later when "data property vs metrics" mean just based on the names. Nobody was 
able to come up with the definition of "consistent" that is consistent with 
what's here, but everybody's guess was pretty close for "data property vs 
metrics".
