+- Proposed replacement for go-contrib instrumentation/runtime added as lightstep/instrumentation/runtime.

+- Avoid repetitive calls to `otel.Handle()` with error conditions
+  caused by out-of-range metrics input values, including NaN, Inf, and
+  in some cases negative values.  These will be handled no more than
+  once per 30 seconds per condition.
