I would be willing to take over the "statistics" command, but as it is written, 
it has to be enabled and disabled which I didn't like so I didn't want to have 
to worry about that. If we were to take over the "statistics" multiword command 
we would need to keep old "statistics enable" and "statistics disable" and make 
them no-ops and then add a JSON output. I started off this way, but it felt 
like a hack. And to be honest the statistics command doesn't do much. It also 
isn't placed correctly as I feel "target statistics" would be a better place 
and I would be fine renaming "metrics" to "statistics", but that would also be 
confusing to have two commands with the same name in different places.
