/**
 * Annotation to provide the name for the span. You should annotate all your custom
 * {@link Runnable Runnable} or {@link java.util.concurrent.Callable Callable} classes for
 * the instrumentation logic to pick up how to name the span.
 *
 * Having for example the following code {@code
 *     @SpanName("custom-operation")
 *     class CustomRunnable implements Runnable {
 *         @Override
 *         public void run() {
 *          // latency of this method will be recorded in a span named "custom-operation"
 *         }
 *      }
 * }
 *
 * Will result in creating a span with name {@code custom-operation}.
 *
 * When there's no @SpanName annotation, {@code toString} is used. Here's an example of
 * the above, but via an anonymous instance. {@code
 *     return new Runnable() {
 *          -- snip --
 *
 *          @Override
 *          public String toString() {
 *              return "custom-operation";
 *          }
 *     };
 * }
