Description
I understand why this is the case for e.g. Gauges in min/max/sum mode, but not for all/liveall, where we can differentiate by a pid label (or similar), and similarly for histograms and counters with a pid-like label. Does something prevent supporting exemplars in those caess?

Research direction
Start by tracing multiprocess mode and exemplar handling in the Python client, focusing on all/liveall and pid-like labels. Done means determining whether exemplars can support counters, histograms, and all/liveall gauges, and defining the required behavior.
