/**
* String constants for metric units.
*
* <p>These constants represent the API names of measurement units that can be used with metrics.
* <p>These constants are for the Metrics product and the {@link IMetricsApi} exposed through {@link
* io.sentry.Sentry#metrics()} and {@link io.sentry.IScopes#metrics()}. {@link
* io.sentry.MeasurementUnit} is instead used by transaction and span measurement APIs, including
* mobile vitals.
*
* <p>Metrics APIs accept strings so older SDK versions can use units introduced after their
* release.
