// The forward matching logic goes like this:
//
// Imagine you have the list of rules in the ruleset lined up vertically. Each rule may have one
// or more snapshots, each of which represents a change to that rule (e.g., filter change, policy
// change, etc.). These snapshots are naturally non-overlapping in time since only one snapshot
// can be active at a given point in time. As a result, if we use the x axis to represent time,
// then for each rule, a snapshot is active for some amount of time. IOW, if you pick a time and
// draw a vertical line across the set of rules, the snapshots of different ruels that intersect
// with the vertical line are the active rule snapshots for the ruleset.
//
// Now you have a list of times you need to perform rule matching at. Each matching time
// corresponds to a cutover time of a rule in the ruleset, because that's when matching the metric
// ID against this rule may lead to a different metadata including different storage policies and
// new rollup IDs to be generated or existing rollup IDs to stop being generated. The final match
// result is a collection of such metadata sorted by time in ascending order.
//
