   > I am having a hard time following along with your example - specifically 
starting at this point
   
   > We can then look at the latest poll and "fill in" the interval, drawing 
first from polling seconds (since we know poll "comes before" non-poll), and 
next from non-polling seconds to hit the exact window size.
   
   > What I've gleaned is that with a window size of 10s, we are able to 
calculate the ratio for window 1 (which ends during the 6th second of the third 
poll) and window 2 is partial and includes everything after that.
   
   Yes, exactly. The basic idea is to let each window be flushed to the metric 
as soon as we know we've accounted for all seconds from that window. 
   
   So in the example, once we finish the third poll, we have enough seconds to 
complete window 1, because we have 2 seconds from the first poll, 2 non-polling 
seconds, and then 6 polling seconds from the third poll.
   
   The last second from the third poll then get "saved up" for the next window 
which isn't complete yet. That window will be flushed once we've gathered up 
another 9 seconds.
   
   In the implementation the point where we account for the latest poll's 
seconds and consider whether to flush the open window is in `pollStart`.
