Why?
Why opaque parameter?
If you want to use it with a configuration file, you just have to
implement a configuration file in your application.

Moreover, I already explained my fear of adding this library in DPDK
which is really an application-level statistics lib.

Without more explanations, my vote is a nack.

However I remember there was a promise to merge every metrics libs in one.
