How to add two different metrics to one register?

[c19]

let total_bytes: Family<TrafficLabels, Counter> = Family::default();
    let connection_count: Family<ConnectionLabels, Gauge> = Family::default();
    let mut registry = Registry::default();
    registry.register(
        "total_bytes",
        "Accumulated bytes going through sever",
        Box::new(total_bytes.clone()),
    );
    
    registry.register(
        "connection count",
        "Count of current connections",
        Box::new(connection_count.clone()),
    );

results in:

mismatched types
expected struct `Family<TrafficLabels, prometheus_client::metrics::counter::Counter, fn() -> prometheus_client::metrics::counter::Counter>`
   found struct `Family<ConnectionLabels, prometheus_client::metrics::gauge::Gauge, fn() -> prometheus_client::metrics::gauge::Gauge>`rustc[E0308](https://doc.rust-lang.org/error-index.html#E0308)

You'll want:

let mut registry = <Registry>::default();

Which should let you do what you're attempting here.

Thanks @phyber for all the help you are providing to users of the library! Greatly appreciated.

@c19 what @phyber said above. As a heads up, this will soon be a lot simpler, i.e. your use-case will become the default behavior. In case you are interested, see #100.

Thanks. That solves the problem.
