+/*
+Package metrics provides a stable interface to access implementation-defined
+metrics exported by the Go runtime. This package is similar to existing functions
+like runtime.ReadMemStats and debug.ReadGCStats, but significantly more general.
+
+The set of metrics defined by this package may evolve as the runtime itself
+evolves, and also enables variation across Go implementations, whose relevant
+metric sets may not intersect.
+
+Interface
+
+Metrics are designated by a string key, rather than, for example, a field name in
+a struct. The full list of supported metrics is always available in the slice of
+Descriptions returned by All. Each Description also includes useful information
+about the metric.
+
+Thus, users of this API are encouraged to sample supported metrics defined by the
+slice returned by All to remain compatible across Go versions. Of course, situations
+arise where reading specific metrics is critical. For these cases, users are
+encouraged to use build tags, and although metrics may be deprecated and removed,
+users should consider this to be an exceptional and rare event, coinciding with a
+very large change in a particular Go implementation.
+
+Each metric key also has a "kind" that describes the format of the metric's value.
+In the interest of not breaking users of this package, the "kind" for a given metric
+is guaranteed not to change. If it must change, then a new metric will be introduced
+with a new key and a new "kind."
+
+Metric key format
+
+As mentioned earlier, metric keys are strings. Their format is simple and well-defined,
+designed to be both human and machine readable. It is split into two components,
+separated by a colon: a rooted path and a unit. The choice to include the unit in
+the key is motivated by compatibility: if a metric's unit changes, its semantics likely
+did also, and a new key should be introduced.
+
+For more details on the precise definition of the metric key's path and unit formats, see
+the documentation of the Name field of the Description struct.
+
+A note about floats
+
+This package supports metrics whose values have a floating-point representation. In
+order to improve ease-of-use, this package promises to never produce the following
+classes of floating-point values: NaN, infinity.
+
+Supported metrics
+
+Below is the full list of supported metrics, ordered lexicographically.
+
