+///
+/// - Telemeter: The class responsible for collecting and forwarding

+/// - TelemetryInfo: data courier
+/// - TelemetryConfig: this stores configurations on Telemeter.

+/// such as `CommandArguments` or `CommandName`.

+  // Note: a tool could have multiple sessions running at once, in which

+  // ids.
+  //
+  // Different usages can assign different types of IDs to this field.

P.S:  wanted to re-iterate that this `ID` (or whatever we'll call it) should convey the fact that it's not unique to each instance of the struct. Instead, it's the same value for all instances created for the same "session".
