// ProtobufParser is a very inefficient way of unmarshaling the old Prometheus
// protobuf format and then present it as it if were parsed by a
// Prometheus-2-style text parser. This is only done so that we can easily plug
// in the protobuf format into Prometheus 2. For future use (with the final
// format that will be used for native histograms), we have to revisit the
// parsing. A lot of the efficiency tricks of the Prometheus-2-style parsing
// could be used in a similar fashion (byte-slice pointers into the raw
// payload), which requires some hand-coded protobuf handling. But the current
// parsers all expect the full series name (metric name plus label pairs) as one
// string, which is not how things are represented in the protobuf format. If
// the re-arrangement work is actually causing problems (which has to be seen),
