There was a problem hiding this comment.
I made this change because Mutex is not re-entrant. I guess we could use a Monitor instead but inlining the exist? method actually makes the code slightly more readable in my opinion.
The registry is backed by a Hash, which is not guaranteed to be thread safe on all interpreters. For peace of mind, this change synchronizes all accesses to the metrics hash. Another option would have been to use a [thread-safe Hash][1] instead of a Hash but this would have meant adding Ruby Concurrent as a dependency, which I'm assuming we don't want.
