I need to send metrics to a telegraf client that supports the Influx Statsd protocol.

I know that the metrics libraries that go-kit supports are just the standard protocols, so my question is if go-kit is opposed to adding support for the protocol, what would be the best way to create my own package using go-kit's statsd package and just adding tag support? I can't take the statsd package directly and make my modifications because the package uses internal libraries. Thanks!
