This is somewhat difficult due to the flexibility gnubg allows. If you
could only choose among a fixed set of METs then we just need to store
the number of the one used, but gnubg allows you to choose an
arbitrary MET. So in order to store which one used, we need to score the
entire MET! Each MET is 1-10kb, so adding it to all moves will require
either lots of work or lots of memory.
