Name of API affected:
Analytics Data Export API

Request summary:
Provide a brief summary of the the feature you'd like to see implemented.

Allow ga:pageTitle to be a metric too.

Use Cases:
Describe how you will use this feature if implemented.

With ga:pageTitle like a dimension, sometimes the ga:pageTitle returns (not
set) on matching data ga:pagePaths and divide my page (and consequently my
pageviews) in two different pages (one with the real title and other with
(not set) on title). So, I can´t get my total pageviews with the ga:pageTitle.

If ga:pageTitle was a metric, the query could return always the real title,
just because the title will be on the line where it´s different to (not set).

Hi. This is not how Google Analytics works. Metrics are calculated aggregates 
and represent numeric values. Dimensions are strings. A page title is a string 
so it's a dimension. In general, URLs and Titles are not 1:1 relationships. So 
you will have to apply your own logic to format your result.

Removing an obsolete label that was used when these issues were in the 
gdata-issues project.
