	// The workers have to tell taskCounterVec their id to increment the

	// Each worker could also keep a reference to their own counter element

	myCounter.Inc()                                   // Somewhere in the code of that worker.

	// A different (and somewhat tricky) approach is to use

	// that never change. You might ask what those labels are good for (and
	// rightfully so - if they never change, they could as well be part of
	// the metric name). There are essentially two use-cases: The first is
	// if labels are constant throughout the lifetime of a binary execution,
	// but they vary over time or between different instances of a running
	// binary. The second is what we have here: Each worker creates and
	// registers an own Counter instance where the only difference is in the
	// value of the ConstLabels. Those Counters can all be registered
	// because the different ConstLabel values guarantee that each worker
	// will increment a different Counter metric.

	// Obviously, in real code, taskCounterForWorker42 would be a member
	// variable of a worker struct, and the "42" would be retrieved with a
	// GetId() method or something. The Counter would be created and
	// registered in the initialization code of the worker.

	// For the creation of the next Counter, we can recycle
	// counterOpts. Just change the ConstLabels.
	counterOpts.ConstLabels = prometheus.Labels{"worker_id": "2001"}

	taskCounterForWorker2001.Inc()
	taskCounterForWorker42.Inc()
	taskCounterForWorker2001.Inc()

	// Yet another approach would be to turn the workers themselves into
	// Collectors and register them. See the Collector example for details.

	// Output:
	// taskCounter registered.
	// taskCounterVec not registered: a previously registered descriptor with the same fully-qualified name as Desc{fqName: "worker_pool_completed_tasks_total", help: "Total number of tasks completed.", constLabels: {}, variableLabels: [worker_id]} has different label names or a different help string
	// taskCounter unregistered.
	// taskCounterVec not registered: a previously registered descriptor with the same fully-qualified name as Desc{fqName: "worker_pool_completed_tasks_total", help: "Total number of tasks completed.", constLabels: {}, variableLabels: [worker_id]} has different label names or a different help string
