A Counter, as defined by the OpenTelemetry standard. OpenTelemetry Spec: https://opentelemetry.io/docs/reference/specification/metrics/api/ .NET API spec: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.diagnostics.metrics.counter-1?view=net-6.0

This interface permits coding to the OpenTelemetry standard without upgrading our .NET Framework. Since it's the same standard, we can update implementations to a thin wrapper around OTel when ready. This also permits us to avoid re-instrumentation for developers.

public interface ICounter<T> : Microsoft.VisualStudio.Telemetry.Metrics.IInstrument where T : struct

type ICounter<'T (requires 'T : struct)> = interface
    interface IInstrument

Public Interface ICounter(Of T)
