Well, I'm not talking about specific issues, except for the general need
of identifying which tool is responsible for which queries. Basically,
there are several ways of doing it:

1. Adding comments to the query itself
2. Adding query parameters
3. Adding query headers, specifically:
a) distinct User-Agent
b) distinct X-Analytics header
c) custom headers

I think that 3a is good for statistics purposes, though 1 could be more
efficient when we need to find out who sent a particular query. 3b may
be superior to 3a, but I admit I don't know enough about it :)
