I'm not sure whether this pattern is really worth it.
The stated goal is that the values returned by the gauges all originate
from the same point in time. However this only holds if all gauges are accessed
in sequence. The moment that a metric is accessed multiple times (like a
reporter that writes to multiple systems and first loops over metrics and then
over reporters), or in a random pattern (JMX) this breaks down. In this case
the end result isn't just out-of-sync but potentially outdated metrics.
Say with JMX a user accesses one of the gauges a single time and then waits
for, let's say 10 minutes. If he now access another metric the result will be
that of 10 minutes ago. If he accesses the value again he will experience a(n
abnormally large) jump in time, which is inconsistent with all other metrics
that always provide the most up-to-date value.
