The program has to expose the correct structure. Some fields are normally
computed and thrown away, so they would have to be formalized a bit in order
to snoop with AMS. The "help" strings are also not centralized like with
options so it would be harder to explain what a parameter in -pc_view
actually meant.

Should we make a "rich" viewer that has the object, name, type, and help
string for every piece of information being exposed? Then we could "publish"
this information for AMS and also optionally put it into a file or other
viewer for anyone who wasn't using AMS to read that data?
