// LabelNamer is a helper struct to build label names.
// It translates OpenTelemetry Protocol (OTLP) attribute names to Prometheus-compliant label names.
//
// Example usage:
//
// namer := LabelNamer{UTF8Allowed: false}
// result := namer.Build("http.method") // "http_method"
type LabelNamer struct {
UTF8Allowed bool
}
// Build normalizes the specified label to follow Prometheus label names standard.
//
// Translation rules:
// - Replaces invalid characters with underscores
// - Prefixes labels with invalid start characters (numbers or `_`) with "key"
// - Preserves double underscore labels (reserved names)
// - If UTF8Allowed is true, returns label as-is
//
// Examples:
//
// namer := LabelNamer{UTF8Allowed: false}
// namer.Build("http.method") // "http_method"
// namer.Build("123invalid") // "key_123invalid"
// namer.Build("__reserved__") // "__reserved__" (preserved)
