// To create UntypedFunc instances, use NewUntypedFunc.

// UntypedOpts. The value reported is determined by calling the given function
// from within the Write method. Take into account that metric collection may
// happen concurrently. If that results in concurrent calls to Write, like in
// the case where an UntypedFunc is directly registered with Prometheus, the
// provided function must be concurrency-safe.
