Add human-readable aliases for objects
Currently the only field for metrics that is accessible from the generic SWATCH API and that could be used to describe that metric is the ID string. However, the ID string cannot contain spaces or various special characters.
So, it would be useful to add an alias
field to the metric base class (with no restrictions on what characters can be put in that string); this field should then also be displayed in the SWATCH cell's web interfaces.
