Can't limit the datapoints elixometer will subscribe to.

I've been looking into integrating elixometer with one of our applications that has quite a few histograms in it. Because elixometer subscribes to all the datapoints of a metric, this means I get 11 datapoint outputs for each histogram, when I'm usually only interested in 2 or 3 of them. It's not a massive problem, but it'd be nice if elixometer had some way of customising which datapoints of a metric are subscribed to.
A configurable blacklist of datapoints seems like it'd be the simplest option, if not very flexible.
Happy to put together a PR for this if it sounds like something that would be accepted.
This seems reasonable; wheat are your thoughts?
How are you defining the metrics?
