/// An interface for authors of OpenTelemetry SDKs to build pre-sampled tracers.
///
/// The OpenTelemetry spec does not allow trace ids to be updated after a span
/// has been created. In order to associate extracted parent trace ids with
/// existing `tracing` spans, `tracing-opentelemetry` builds up otel span data
/// using a [`SpanBuilder`] instead, and creates / exports full otel spans only
/// when the associated `tracing` span is closed. However, in order to properly
/// inject otel [`Context`] information to downstream requests, the sampling
/// state must now be known _before_ the otel span has been created.
///
/// The logic for coming to a sampling decision and creating an injectable span
/// context from a [`SpanBuilder`] is encapsulated in the
/// [`PreSampledTracer::sampled_context`] method and has been implemented
/// for the standard OpenTelemetry SDK, but this trait may be implemented by
/// authors of alternate OpenTelemetry SDK implementations if they wish to have
/// `tracing` compatibility.
///
/// See the [`OpenTelemetrySpanExt::set_parent`] and
/// [`OpenTelemetrySpanExt::context`] methods for example usage.
