Details

It would be very convenient to be able to register enumeration names. For example, we have a GC_REASON_2 histogram that can be any one of a couple of dozen different values, and mapping the numeric value to what it means is a nuisance (and error-prone.)

It would be nice if we could list out the mapping between reasons and their string descriptions, and have that show up in both about:telemetry and the dashboard and wherever else this stuff is reported.

(My browser usually GCs because 47, but quite a few are because 48 and a nontrivial number are because 36 and 52.)
We now have categorical histograms, which allow to do that:
