Ahhhh! Gotcha. For what it's worth metrics-lib strikes me as a much
better name...

* That's what most things I'm aware of refer to. Its git repo, our
descriptor parser comparison table, etc. An alternate name is kinda
confusing.

* Names are often written in lowercase (import statements, etc) so
DescripTor becomes descriptor, the thing it's fetching. That's kinda
confusing.

Anyway, just food for thought. Besides the tarball name I'm not
spotting much use of the DescripTor name so it could be pretty easy to
standardize on metrics-lib if you wanted.

Cheers! -Damian
