That’s ok, because doing that would be silly.

If you don’t want application B to use metric M, then you create metric N and 
use that for application B.

The generic metric is NOT one metric.  It’s a whole host of them.  Plenty to go 
around. Multiple metrics per application, all out of the single space.
