Metric help text is ignored in multiprocess mode

When using prometheus client in multiprocess mode as in the docs example, metric description always says Multiprocess metric:

# HELP inprogress_requests Multiprocess metric
# TYPE inprogress_requests gauge
inprogress_requests 0.0
# HELP num_requests Multiprocess metric
# TYPE num_requests counter
num_requests 81634.0

Is this perhaps in the pipe, to preserve help texts in multiprocess mode?

@csmarchbanks Great, thanks! I expect I’ll make a PR sometime in the next few weeks unless someone beats me to it (but given this issue was opened over 3 years ago, it seems unlikely! 🙃)

In the case of conflicting help text, two options I see are arbitrarily keeping one of them or falling back to the existing placeholder text. The first seems more helpful to me since it’ll still be more specific than the placeholder, but I’d be curious to hear your thoughts.
