Feature Request

Crates

  • tracing-opentelemetry

Motivation

Currently OpenTelemetry cannot record events outside of a span. This can lead to confusion as tracing events are silently ignored if a containing span has not been created.

Proposal

Create a feature flag dev-warnings that crates can use to emit helpful debug/warning messages.

Alternatives

Alternatively, simply logging in dev mode may solve the problem, although not being able to silence these warnings may be annoying.

A library specific lint from clippy would work for this, right?
