Return a shared pointer to a newly‐created modifiable collector identified by the specified null‐terminated strings `category` and `metricName`, and add that collector to the repository. If is not already registered, also add the identified metric to the `metricRegistry` supplied at construction. Note that this operation is logically equivalent to: ` addCollector(registry().getId(category, metricName)) `
