/**
 * This annotation allows fine-tuned control over which classes and methods
 * create OpenTracing spans. By default, all JAX-RS methods implicitly have
 * this annotation.
 * 
 * This annotation applies to a class or a method. When applied to a class, this
 * annotation is applied to all methods of the class. If the annotation is
 * applied to a class and method then the annotation applied to the method takes
 * precedence. The annotation starts a Span at the beginning of the method, and
 * finishes the Span at the end of the method.
 * 
 * This annotation also has {@code InterceptorBinding} for frameworks to
 * process all of each application's explicit {@code Traced} annotations.
