// Counter is a Metric that represents a single numerical value that only ever

// also go down, e.g. the number of currently running goroutines. Those
// "counters" are represented by Gauges.
//
// A Counter is typically used to count requests served, tasks completed, errors
// occurred, etc.

// To create Counter instances, use NewCounter.
