WithSpan (OpenTelemetry Extension Annotations)

```
@Target({METHOD,CONSTRUCTOR})
@Retention(RUNTIME)
public @interface WithSpan
```
This annotation marks that an execution of this method or constructor should result in a new Span.
Application developers can use this annotation to signal OpenTelemetry auto-instrumentation that a new span should be created whenever marked method is executed.
If you are a library developer, then probably you should NOT use this annotation, because it is non-functional without the OpenTelemetry auto-instrumentation agent, or some other annotation processor.
