// A Gauge does not support different aggregation temporalities.
// However, its "StartTimeUnixNano" may follow the semantics of a temporality
// selection. E.g. "StartTimeUnixNano" may be the time of last collection when

This is meant to draft out how we might change the proto description text to accommodate this proposal to add a synchronous gauge instrument: open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification#3540

The current iteration of the synchronous gauge proposal allows aggregation temporality selection to influence the start time of gauges.
