Description
*Description*:
>Some stats can potentially be used for functional purposes during operation. However, the fact that they can be disabled via a stats matcher expression makes that an anti-pattern currently. We should have a mechanism to mark a stat as being immune from disabling. Since the disabling happens during stat instantiation, this would need to occur during stat construction.
