Some ideas about native histograms and the text format

[Bjoern Rabenstein]

Dear Prometheans,

I've just chatted to a few of you abouh options for the text format
representation of native histograms. Here is a doc with the ideas we
discussed:

This is especially relevant if you work on one of the instrumentation
libraries that won't support protobuf any time soon. Maybe the ideas
inspire you. Should you plan to work on this, let's coordinate so that
the Prometheus server will be able to understand what your library
will expose, and so that we don't run into different directions at the
same time.

Enjoy,
