type Float64Histogram struct {
// Counts contains the weights for each histogram bucket.

// Given N buckets, Count[n] is the weight of the range

// Buckets contains the boundaries of the histogram buckets, in increasing order.
//
// Buckets[0] is the inclusive lower bound of the minimum bucket while
// Buckets[len(Buckets)-1] is the exclusive upper bound of the maximum bucket.
// Hence, there are len(Buckets)-1 counts. Furthermore, len(Buckets) != 1, always,
// since at least two boundaries are required to describe one bucket (and 0
// boundaries are used to describe 0 buckets).
//
// Buckets[0] is permitted to have value -Inf and Buckets[len(Buckets)-1] is
// permitted to have value Inf.
//
// For a given metric name, the value of Buckets is guaranteed not to change
// between calls until program exit.
//
// This slice value is permitted to alias with other Float64Histograms' Buckets
// fields, so the values within should only ever be read. If they need to be
// modified, the user must make a copy.
