Details

I assumed a counter metric would record an error of type invalid_overflow when it saturates at i32::max. It isn't documented to, but I thought that was a bug in the documentation.

Maybe I'm just wrong to assume this and there's a good reason it doesn't. However, I argue that this is something that would convey important information about the quality of the data in a situation like bug 1751241.
