SFRAINQM is all 0s in the history file

The name appears in the master field list, so it's eligible to be written,
and it is written with no complaints, but apparently it's never calculated,
and no checks are done to see if it has valid data.
I can't find the variable name in the CAM source code (using grep on all the source code files).
I can't even find a line that has an SF and RAINQM (which is written to the initial file correctly).
How do I make CAM calculate it?

Now I've found that the call to add SFRAINQM (and all other surface fluxes) to the default fields is commented out.
physics/cam/micro_mg_cam.F90
! call add_default(sflxnam(mm), 1, ' ')
There's no comment about why or whether it's safe to uncomment it.
It seems that if this is commented out, then these fields should not be added to the master field list.

More context; history_amwg = .true., so that's not playing a role.

I've found PRECT (and PRECC and PRECL), which apparently is what I want,
since they can be written to history files, so I'm giving up on SFRAINQM.
