Good idea. I can take a look!

Apologies for the delay. Looking at the code, I think UserDefinedMeasurementTemplate is just a convenience class. You can use any type you want if you inherit from UserDefinedMeasurement instead. It has a few pure virtual functions you have to implement, but it would be trivial for std::string to implement.

///
/// \brief Must be implemented by the user. Must return a specification which aggregations the user wants to be computed.
///
virtual UDMAggregationTable getAggregationInfo() const = 0;

///
/// \brief Must be implemented by the user. Must return the name of this user-defined measurement.
///
virtual std::string getName() const = 0;

///
/// \brief Combine the results of two user-defined measurements.
///
/// As TestFixture classes are created and destroyed, this provides a mechanism to preserve data.  Internally, this function is used so that
/// each unique set of (group, experiment, problem space) has its own combined set of user defined measurements.
///
virtual void merge(const UserDefinedMeasurement* const x) = 0;

For your use case, getAggregationInfo() would just return an empty UDMAggregationTable. and merge would not have to do anything at all. So you would just have to return a name. Give that a try and let me know if you have success.
