+Declarative OTel histogram bucket views keyed by metric-name pattern.
+
+PR #64207 standardised timer histograms on
+:class:`~opentelemetry.sdk.metrics.view.ExponentialBucketHistogramAggregation`
+at the instrument-type level.  This module extends that idea to non-timer
+histograms (``*_count``, ``*_duration``, ``*_delay`` and similar families):
+bucket shape is declared once, here, instead of being chosen per call site.
+
+The mapping is intentionally narrow.  Patterns are simple suffix globs and
+each one maps to a single named aggregation.  Deployments that need a
+different bucket layout can pass an override dict to
+:func:`build_views_for_patterns`.
