   ## Rationale for Using Decorators Instead of Inheritance with Datadog
   
   Using `get_name` with the Datadog protocol is unnecessary since we don’t 
combine tags and the stat name when calling `DogStatsd` functions. The 
functions in `DogStatsd` (e.g., `increment`, `decrement`, `gauge`, `timing`) 
expect the metric name and tags separately, so there’s no need to modify or 
combine them beforehand. 
   
   Even if tags need to be prepared, we already apply the 
`@prepare_metric_name_with_tags` decorator before `get_name`, which impacts 
only the values passed to `get_name` and not the final metric name used in 
`DogStatsd` calls.
   
   Therefore, making `SafeDogStatsdLogger` a subclass of `StatsLogger` doesn’t 
add any functional value here. Instead, adding `@prepare_metric_name_with_tags` 
to each function in `SafeDogStatsdLogger` keeps the code organized and 
consistent without requiring inheritance specifically for Datadog. This 
approach provides clarity while keeping `SafeDogStatsdLogger` focused solely on 
Datadog-specific logic.
   Additionally, I added the `@prepare_stat_with_tags` decorator for a more 
consistent way of validating tags, allowing for cleaner code by centralizing 
tag preparation and validation across all metric functions.
