// Histogram and Summary to add observations.

// The ObserverFunc type is an adapter to allow the use of ordinary
// functions as Observers. If f is a function with the appropriate
// signature, ObserverFunc(f) is an Observer that calls f.
//
// This adapter is usually used in connection with the Timer type, and there are
// two general use cases:
//
// The most common one is to use a Gauge as the Observer for a Timer.
// See the "Gauge" Timer example.
//
// The more advanced use case is to create a function that dynamically decides
// which Observer to use for observing the duration. See the "Complex" Timer
// example.

// ExemplarObserver is implemented by Observers that offer the option of
// observing a value together with an exemplar. Its ObserveWithExemplar method
// works like the Observe method of an Observer but also replaces the currently
// saved exemplar (if any) with a new one, created from the provided value, the
// current time as timestamp, and the provided Labels. Empty Labels will lead to
// a valid (label-less) exemplar. But if Labels is nil, the current exemplar is
// left in place. ObserveWithExemplar panics if any of the provided labels are
// invalid or if the provided labels contain more than 128 runes in total.
