> Just spent a couple hours trying to figure out why a metric I added didn't
> show up in JMX, only to eventually realize it was because I had a whitespace
> in the property name. This didn't cause any errors to be logged -- the metric
> just didn't show up in JMX. We should check that the name is valid and log an
> error, or replace invalid characters with something like an underscore.
