--[[
This module implements a subset of the OpenMetrics Internet Draft version 00.

URL: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-richih-opsawg-openmetrics-00

The following metric types are supported:

- Counter
- Gauge
- Histogram
- Summary

It is used by util.statsd and util.statistics to provite the OpenMetrics API.

To understand what this module is about, it is useful to familiarize oneself
with the terms MetricFamily, Metric, LabelSet, Label and MetricPoint as
defined in the I-D linked above.

-- on metrics created in non-global modules.
