	/// This is the base class for all metrics, such as
	/// Counter, Gauge and Histogram.
	///
	/// Collector objects automatically register themselves
	/// with the default Registry (unless a nullptr is passed to the
	/// constructor's pRegistry parameter), but do not automatically
	/// unregister. This brings the danger of dangling pointers if
	/// Collector instances are destroyed without being explicitly
	/// unregistered first. In most practical cases this is not an
	/// issue as Collector instances will be alive for the entire
	/// run time of the process. However, it can be an issue if
	/// Collector instances are created and destroyed dynamically
	/// during the run time of the process.
