Research direction

Start by comparing the current dogstatsd-ruby client with em-statsd and the linked EventMachine shim to identify the integration entry point. Confirm the expected asynchronous behavior and define tests showing that EventMachine users can send metrics successfully; done means documented, tested EventMachine support.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

We currently use em-statsd and would like to switch to this gem. Support for EventMachine might be as trivial as a shim, like this one.
