Pool vs. server without config parsing

Hello,

At work we're trying to write some code that sanity checks chrony config.
For IMO obvious reasons, we'd like to avoid writing our own chrony.conf
parser.  As a result, we are trying to consume chronyc output.

We are can't find a way to distinguish a source that's a server vs. one
that's a pool.

That is, when we see 3 sources in `chronyc sources` we can't find a way to
tell if we are looking at 3 servers or a pool of 3.  The closest thing we
came up with is to use `chronyc sourcename` for each source, and try to
collate the results, but this seems hacky/fragile.

Is there a way to distinguish the two scenarios?

Thanks,

Jeff.
