I just browsed through the Telegraf GitHub page and noticed that
Telegraf even has integrated support for parsing metrics in
Prometheus' format:

https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/tree/master/plugins/inputs/prometheus

Considering this and the ongoing standardisation effort, maybe it
makes more sense to stick to a single exporter? We can consider
extending the man page to mention that it can also be used in
combination with Telegraf.
