The main arguments for these features are
* api-agnostic means to collaborate with a span
- use of annotations allows users to add to a span with no library dependency on a span api.
This allows Sleuth to change its core api less impact to user code.
* reduced surface area for basic span operations.
- without this feature one has to use the span api, which has lifecycle commands that
could be used incorrectly. By only exposing scope, tag and log functionality, users can
collaborate without accidentally breaking span lifecycle.
* collaboration with runtime generated code
- with libraries such as Spring Data / Feign the implementations of interfaces are generated
at runtime thus span wrapping of objects was tedious. Now you can provide annotations
over interfaces and arguments of those interfaces
