Review comment:
       >I recommend adding init with a metric_name parameter to Metric and its 
subclasses (Counter, Distribution and Gauge). This already exists on 
DelegatingX classes, but could be done in the base Metric init instead.
   
   Adding `metric_name` to `Metric.__init__` definitely seems like the best 
solution to me, so I did that. 
   
   > If it were up to me we would remove Counter, Distribution and Gauge 
classes and just have the DelegatingCounter DelegatingDistribution and 
DelegatingGauge classes.
   
   Leaving this for a future task.
