Different hardware will expose different number of each of these things. In
Haomeng's first proposal, all hardware would expose a "fanspeed" and a
"voltage" category, but with a variable number of meters in each category.
In the second proposal, it looks like there are no categories and hardware
exposes a variable number of meters whose names adhere to some consistent
structure (eg, "FAN ?" and "V???").

It looks to me like the question is whether or not to use categories to
group similar meters.
