# [description] List of metrics known to LightGBM. The most up to date list can be found
#               at https://lightgbm.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Parameters.html#metric-parameters
#
# [return] A named logical vector, where each key is a metric name and each value is a boolean.
#          TRUE if higher values of the metric are desirable, FALSE if lower values are desirable.
#          Note that only the 'main' metrics are stored here, not aliases, since only the 'main' metrics
#          are returned from the C++ side. For example, if you use `metric = "mse"` in your code,
#          the metric name `"l2"` will be returned.
