/// Measures the load of the underlying service using Peak-EWMA load measurement.
///
/// [`PeakEwma`] implements [`Load`] with the [`Cost`] metric that estimates the amount of
/// pending work to an endpoint. Work is calculated by multiplying the
/// exponentially-weighted moving average (EWMA) of response latencies by the number of
/// pending requests. The Peak-EWMA algorithm is designed to be especially sensitive to
/// worst-case latencies. Over time, the peak latency value decays towards the moving
/// average of latencies to the endpoint.
///
/// When no latency information has been measured for an endpoint, an arbitrary default
/// RTT of 1 second is used to prevent the endpoint from being overloaded before a
/// meaningful baseline can be established..
