`keep_common` is more in line with the function name
`drop_common_labels()` terminology-wise, and also more in line with
`group_left`/`group_right` (no `...ing` verb suffix).
We could also go the full way and call it `keep_common_labels`. That
would have the benefit of being even more consistent with the function
`drop_common_labels()` and would be more explanatory, but it also seems
quite long.
This calculates how much a counter increases over
a given period of time, which is the area under the curve
of it's rate.
increase(x[5m]) is equivilent to rate(x[5m]) * 300.
