30// Desc is the descriptor used by every Prometheus Metric. It is essentially
31// the immutable meta-data of a Metric. The normal Metric implementations
32// included in this package manage their Desc under the hood. Users only have to
33// deal with Desc if they use advanced features like the ExpvarCollector or
34// custom Collectors and Metrics.
35//
36// Descriptors registered with the same registry have to fulfill certain
37// consistency and uniqueness criteria if they share the same fully-qualified
38// name: They must have the same help string and the same label names (aka label
39// dimensions) in each, constLabels and variableLabels, but they must differ in
40// the values of the constLabels.
41//
42// Descriptors that share the same fully-qualified names and the same label
43// values of their constLabels are considered equal.
44//
45// Use NewDesc to create new Desc instances.
