// Package promauto provides alternative constructors for the fundamental
// Prometheus metric types and their …Vec and …Func variants. The difference to
// their counterparts in the prometheus package is that the promauto
// constructors return Collectors that are already registered with a
// registry. There are two sets of constructors. The constructors in the first
// set are top-level functions, while the constructors in the other set are
// methods of the Factory type. The top-level function return Collectors
// registered with the global registry (prometheus.DefaultRegisterer), while the
// methods return Collectors registered with the registry the Factory was
// constructed with. All constructors panic if the registration fails.
//
// The following example is a complete program to create a histogram of normally
// distributed random numbers from the math/rand package:
//
//      package main
//
//      import (
//              "math/rand"
//              "net/http"
//
//              "github.com/prometheus/client_golang/prometheus"
//              "github.com/prometheus/client_golang/prometheus/promauto"
//              "github.com/prometheus/client_golang/prometheus/promhttp"
//      )
//
//      var histogram = promauto.NewHistogram(prometheus.HistogramOpts{
//              Name:    "random_numbers",
//              Help:    "A histogram of normally distributed random numbers.",
//              Buckets: prometheus.LinearBuckets(-3, .1, 61),
//      })
//
//      func Random() {
//              for {
//                      histogram.Observe(rand.NormFloat64())
//              }
//      }
//
//      func main() {
//              go Random()
//              http.Handle("/metrics", promhttp.Handler())
//              http.ListenAndServe(":1971", nil)
//      }
//
// Prometheus's version of a minimal hello-world program:
//
//      package main
//
//      import (
//      	"fmt"
//      	"net/http"
//
//      	"github.com/prometheus/client_golang/prometheus"
//      	"github.com/prometheus/client_golang/prometheus/promauto"
//      	"github.com/prometheus/client_golang/prometheus/promhttp"
//      )
//
//      func main() {
//      	http.Handle("/", promhttp.InstrumentHandlerCounter(
//      		promauto.NewCounterVec(
//      			prometheus.CounterOpts{
//      				Name: "hello_requests_total",
//      				Help: "Total number of hello-world requests by HTTP code.",
//      			},
//      			[]string{"code"},
//      		),
//      		http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
//      			fmt.Fprint(w, "Hello, world!")
//      		}),
//      	))
//      	http.Handle("/metrics", promhttp.Handler())
//      	http.ListenAndServe(":1971", nil)
//      }
//
// A Factory is created with the With(prometheus.Registerer) function, which
// enables two usage pattern. With(prometheus.Registerer) can be called once per
// line:
//
//        var (
//        	reg           = prometheus.NewRegistry()
//        	randomNumbers = promauto.With(reg).NewHistogram(prometheus.HistogramOpts{
//        		Name:    "random_numbers",
//        		Help:    "A histogram of normally distributed random numbers.",
//        		Buckets: prometheus.LinearBuckets(-3, .1, 61),
//        	})
//        	requestCount = promauto.With(reg).NewCounterVec(
//        		prometheus.CounterOpts{
//        			Name: "http_requests_total",
//        			Help: "Total number of HTTP requests by status code end method.",
//        		},
//        		[]string{"code", "method"},
//        	)
//        )
//
// Or it can be used to create a Factory once to be used multiple times:
//
//        var (
//        	reg           = prometheus.NewRegistry()
//        	factory       = promauto.With(reg)
//        	randomNumbers = factory.NewHistogram(prometheus.HistogramOpts{
//        		Name:    "random_numbers",
//        		Help:    "A histogram of normally distributed random numbers.",
//        		Buckets: prometheus.LinearBuckets(-3, .1, 61),
//        	})
//        	requestCount = factory.NewCounterVec(
//        		prometheus.CounterOpts{
//        			Name: "http_requests_total",
//        			Help: "Total number of HTTP requests by status code end method.",
//        		},
//        		[]string{"code", "method"},
//        	)
//        )
//
// This appears very handy. So why are these constructors locked away in a
// separate package?
//
// The main problem is that registration may fail, e.g. if a metric inconsistent
// with the newly to be registered one is already registered. Therefore, the
// Register method in the prometheus.Registerer interface returns an error, and
// the same is the case for the top-level prometheus.Register function that
// registers with the global registry. The prometheus package also provides
// MustRegister versions for both. They panic if the registration fails, and
// they clearly call this out by using the Must… idiom. Panicking is a bit
// problematic here because it doesn't just happen on input provided by the
// caller that is invalid on its own. Things are a bit more subtle here: Metric
// creation and registration tend to be spread widely over the codebase. It can
// easily happen that an incompatible metric is added to an unrelated part of
// the code, and suddenly code that used to work perfectly fine starts to panic
// (provided that the registration of the newly added metric happens before the
// registration of the previously existing metric). This may come as an even
// bigger surprise with the global registry, where simply importing another
// package can trigger a panic (if the newly imported package registers metrics
// in its init function). At least, in the prometheus package, creation of
// metrics and other collectors is separate from registration. You first create
// the metric, and then you decide explicitly if you want to register it with a
// local or the global registry, and if you want to handle the error or risk a
// panic. With the constructors in the promauto package, registration is
// automatic, and if it fails, it will always panic. Furthermore, the
// constructors will often be called in the var section of a file, which means
// that panicking will happen as a side effect of merely importing a package.
//
// A separate package allows conservative users to entirely ignore it. And
// whoever wants to use it, will do so explicitly, with an opportunity to read
// this warning.
//
// Enjoy promauto responsibly!
