  // "Action" here means a user-generated event:

  // WARNING: Call this function exactly like this, with the string literal
  // inline:
  //   UserMetrics::RecordAction(L"foo bar", profile);
  // because otherwise our processing scripts won't pick up on new actions.
  //
  // For more complicated situations (like when there are many different
  // possible actions), see RecordComputedAction.

  // you need to also update the rules for extracting known actions.
