Putting this on hold as Otel/.NET support for metrics is not planned to be GA until Nov 2021. The "hack" that I was attempting to do using another Metrics API (App.Metrics) and exporting the results might work, but feels wrong in implementation to me.

Based on this post, .NET OpenTelemetry Meter support is a ways off: https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-dotnet/issues/1501
That being said, is the actual meter implementation important or is it more about there being an OpenTelemetry Exporter for the meter data?
