Hm, good point, it might be desirable for client tools to append/modify
their own labels to metrics (perhaps on a 'global' scale, or a finer
grained instance/metric level?).  For example a pmlogger/pcp2whatever
instance wanting to also include labels specific to the collection host
it was located on.  Or in instances where the production environment
can't be immediately changed and the admin wants to append/modify the
labels compared to the global set in production.  I'm sure there's more
cases this would be desirable. 

Cheers,

Lukas
