Few followups are actually needed before merging this:
1. We need to remove the example metrics
2. Conflicting metrics names should not result in failures. Metrics are
tooling, and problems in the tooling should not fail the core programs.
3. I think we should limit the available metrics types to Gauge and
Counter for now. I looked at Timers, Meters, and Histograms - they are very
high overhead each. As a follow-up, I would like to see if we can construct
simple Meters as views over counters. That way, the runtime code as no overhead
for the metering (it just maintains counters and gauges) and the registry code
needs to turn them into Meters asynchronously.
