Subject: Statistics

At present, there is a standard set of statistics that is
defined (things like packets and octets sent and received).
We also have a way to add new statistics; they are defined
in packages.

Statistics are returned whenever you do a Subtract.  You can also ask for
statistics with an AuditValue.

I'd like to consider removing the standard statistics and
putting them in the "base" package definitions.  The reason
I propose to do this is that, for example, returning the
PacketsSent statistic on a circuit termination doesn't make
sense.  If they were defined in the base packages, then
only the appropriate statistics for the kind of termination
(read "what packages are implemented on that termination")
would be returned.
