// A typical use-case is the observation of request latencies. By default, a
// Summary provides the median, the 90th and the 99th percentile of the latency
// as rank estimations. However, the default behavior will change in the
// upcoming v1.0.0 of the library. There will be no rank estimations at all by
// default. For a sane transition, it is recommended to set the desired rank
// estimations explicitly.
//
// Note that the rank estimations cannot be aggregated in a meaningful way with
// the Prometheus query language (i.e. you cannot average or add them). If you
// need aggregatable quantiles (e.g. you want the 99th percentile latency of all
// queries served across all instances of a service), consider the Histogram
