The metrics package provides general descriptors for the concept of exportable
metrics.

accumulating_bucket.go provides a histogram bucket type that accumulates
elements until a given capacity and enacts a given eviction policy upon
such a condition.

accumulating_bucket_test.go provides a test complement for the
accumulating_bucket_go module.

eviction.go provides several histogram bucket eviction strategies.

eviction_test.go provides a test complement for the eviction.go module.

gauge.go provides a scalar metric that one can monitor.  It is useful for
certain cases, such as instantaneous temperature.

gauge_test.go provides a test complement for the gauge.go module.

histogram.go provides a basic histogram metric, which can accumulate scalar
event values or samples.  The underlying histogram implementation is designed
to be performant in that it accepts tolerable inaccuracies.

histogram_test.go provides a test complement for the histogram.go module.

metric.go provides fundamental interface expectations for the various metrics.

metrics_test.go provides a test suite for all tests in the metrics package
hierarchy.  It employs the gocheck framework for test scaffolding.

tallying_bucket.go provides a histogram bucket type that aggregates tallies
of events that fall into its ranges versus a summary of the values
themselves.

tallying_bucket_test.go provides a test complement for the
tallying_bucket.go module.

timer.go provides a scalar metric that times how long a given event takes.

timer_test.go provides a test complement for the timer.go module.
