Add support for setting a metric name prefix.

[ghost]

Just added support for setting a prefix on metric names. Useful when you want to group metrics by application.

Example: Metriks.set_prefix('some_app.development')

Metriks.meter('requests') # => some_app.development.requests meter

The way I've considered doing this is actually by providing the prefix in the reporter instead of in the registry.

What reporter are you using right now?

Graphite

Yeah, reporter might make more sense.

You can pass :prefix => 'some_app.development' into your graphite reporter when you initialize it:

reporter = Metriks::Reporter::Graphite.new(<options>, :prefix => 'some_app.development')

and it should give you what you need.

Ok, see the option now. Will just use that. Thanks!
