/**
 * Converts a counter value to its gauge (plain numeric) equivalent. The output type is determined by the input:
 * `counter_long` converts to `long`, `counter_integer` to `integer`, and `counter_double` to `double`.
 * No values are modified; only the type annotation changes. If the input is already a plain numeric or `aggregate_metric_double`, the function is a no-op. This is useful when a metric field was misclassified as a counter type instead of a plain numeric (gauge) in the index mapping.
 * This function is also available as the `::gauge` cast operator.
 *
 * @example
 * TS k8s
 * | STATS bytes_in = avg(avg_over_time(network.bytes_in::gauge)) BY cluster, time_bucket = bucket(@timestamp, 10minute)
 * | EVAL bytes_in = round(bytes_in, 4)
 * | KEEP bytes_in, cluster, time_bucket
 * | SORT time_bucket, cluster
 * | LIMIT 10;
