+ *
+ * This osmo_stat_item module adds instrumentation capabilities to
+ * gather measurement and statistical values in a similar fashion to
+ * what we have as \ref osmo_counter_group.
+ *
+ * As opposed to counters, osmo_stat_item do not increment but consist
+ * of a configurable-sized FIFO, which can store not only the current
+ * (most recent) value, but also historic values.
+ *
+ * The only supported value type is an int32_t.
+ *
+ * Getting values from the osmo_stat_item does not modify its state to
+ * allow for multiple independent back-ends retrieving values (e.g. VTY
+ * and statd).
+ *
+ * Each value stored in the FIFO of an osmo_stat_item has an associated
+ * value_id. The value_id is derived from an application-wide globally
+ * incrementing counter, so (until the counter wraps) more recent
+ * values will have higher values.
+ *
+ * When a new value is set, the oldest value in the FIFO gets silently
+ * overwritten. Lost values are skipped when getting values from the
+ * item.
