ExceptionMetered (Metrics Parent 4.1.0 API)

```
@Inherited
@Documented
@Retention(RUNTIME)
@Target({TYPE,CONSTRUCTOR,METHOD,ANNOTATION_TYPE})
public @interface ExceptionMetered
```
An annotation for marking a method of an annotated object as metered.
Given a method like this:
```
     @ExceptionMetered(name = "fancyName", cause=IllegalArgumentException.class)
     public String fancyName(String name) {
         return "Sir Captain " + name;
     }
 
```
A meter for the defining class with the name fancyName will be created and each time the #fancyName(String) throws an exception of type cause (or a subclass), the meter will be marked.
A name for the metric can be specified as an annotation parameter, otherwise, the metric will be named based on the method name.
For instance, given a declaration of
```
     @ExceptionMetered
     public String fancyName(String name) {
         return "Sir Captain " + name;
     }
 
```
A meter named fancyName.exceptions will be created and marked every time an exception is thrown.
