  // `kBy`, then the value of the metric is always in thousands of bytes, no

  //
  // If you want a custom metric to record the exact number of CPU-seconds used
  // by a job, you can create an `INT64 CUMULATIVE` metric whose `unit` is
  // `s{CPU}` (or equivalently `1s{CPU}` or just `s`). If the job uses 12,005
  // CPU-seconds, then the value is written as `12005`.
  //
  // Alternatively, if you want a custom metric to record data in a more
  // granular way, you can create a `DOUBLE CUMULATIVE` metric whose `unit` is
  // `ks{CPU}`, and then write the value `12.005` (which is `12005/1000`),
  // or use `Kis{CPU}` and write `11.723` (which is `12005/1024`).
  //
  // The supported units are a subset of [The Unified Code for Units of
  // Measure](https://unitsofmeasure.org/ucum.html) standard:
  //
  // **Basic units (UNIT)**
  //
  // * `bit`   bit
  // * `By`    byte
  // * `s`     second
  // * `min`   minute
  // * `h`     hour
  // * `d`     day
  // * `1`     dimensionless
  //
  // **Prefixes (PREFIX)**
  //
  // * `k`     kilo    (10^3)
  // * `M`     mega    (10^6)
  // * `G`     giga    (10^9)
  // * `T`     tera    (10^12)
  // * `P`     peta    (10^15)
  // * `E`     exa     (10^18)
  // * `Z`     zetta   (10^21)
  // * `Y`     yotta   (10^24)
  //
  // * `m`     milli   (10^-3)
  // * `u`     micro   (10^-6)
  // * `n`     nano    (10^-9)
  // * `p`     pico    (10^-12)
  // * `f`     femto   (10^-15)
  // * `a`     atto    (10^-18)
  // * `z`     zepto   (10^-21)
  // * `y`     yocto   (10^-24)
  //
  // * `Ki`    kibi    (2^10)
  // * `Mi`    mebi    (2^20)
  // * `Gi`    gibi    (2^30)
  // * `Ti`    tebi    (2^40)
  // * `Pi`    pebi    (2^50)
  //
  // **Grammar**
  //
  // The grammar also includes these connectors:
  //
  // * `/`    division or ratio (as an infix operator). For examples,
  //          `kBy/{email}` or `MiBy/10ms` (although you should almost never
  //          have `/s` in a metric `unit`; rates should always be computed at
  //          query time from the underlying cumulative or delta value).
  // * `.`    multiplication or composition (as an infix operator). For
  //          examples, `GBy.d` or `k{watt}.h`.
  //
  // The grammar for a unit is as follows:
  //
  //     Expression = Component { "." Component } { "/" Component } ;
  //
  //     Component = ( [ PREFIX ] UNIT | "%" ) [ Annotation ]
  //               | Annotation
  //               | "1"
  //               ;
  //
  //     Annotation = "{" NAME "}" ;
  //
  // Notes:
  //
  // * `Annotation` is just a comment if it follows a `UNIT`. If the annotation
  //    is used alone, then the unit is equivalent to `1`. For examples,
  //    `{request}/s == 1/s`, `By{transmitted}/s == By/s`.
  // * `NAME` is a sequence of non-blank printable ASCII characters not
  //    containing `{` or `}`.
  // * `1` represents a unitary [dimensionless
  //    unit](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimensionless_quantity) of 1, such
  //    as in `1/s`. It is typically used when none of the basic units are
  //    appropriate. For example, "new users per day" can be represented as
  //    `1/d` or `{new-users}/d` (and a metric value `5` would mean "5 new
  //    users). Alternatively, "thousands of page views per day" would be
  //    represented as `1000/d` or `k1/d` or `k{page_views}/d` (and a metric
  //    value of `5.3` would mean "5300 page views per day").
  // * `%` represents dimensionless value of 1/100, and annotates values giving
  //    a percentage (so the metric values are typically in the range of 0..100,
  //    and a metric value `3` means "3 percent").
  // * `10^2.%` indicates a metric contains a ratio, typically in the range
  //    0..1, that will be multiplied by 100 and displayed as a percentage
  //    (so a metric value `0.03` means "3 percent").
