A Metric is a saved MBQL 'macro' expanding to a combination of :aggregation and/or :filter clauses. It is passed in as an :aggregation clause but is replaced by the expand-macros middleware with the appropriate clauses.

Used to be the toucan1 model name defined using [[toucan.models/defmodel]], not it's a reference to the toucan2 model name. We'll keep this till we replace all these symbols in our codebase.
