/// A captured trace of [`tracing`] spans.
///
/// This type can be thought of as a relative of
/// [`std::backtrace::Backtrace`][`Backtrace`].
/// However, rather than capturing the current call stack when it is
/// constructed, a `SpanTrace` instead captures the current [span] and its
/// [parents].
///
/// In many cases, span traces may be as useful as stack backtraces useful in
/// pinpointing where an error occurred and why, if not moreso:
///
/// * A span trace captures only the user-defined, human-readable `tracing`
///   spans, rather than _every_ frame in the call stack, often cutting out a
///   lot of noise.
/// * Span traces include the [fields] recorded by each span in the trace, as
///   well as their names and source code location, so different invocations of
///   a function can be distinguished,
/// * In asynchronous code, backtraces for errors that occur in [futures] often
///   consist not of the stack frames that _spawned_ a future, but the stack
///   frames of the executor that is responsible for running that future. This
///   means that if an `async fn` calls another `async fn` which generates an
///   error, the calling async function will not appear in the stack trace (and
///   often, the callee won't either!). On the other hand, when the
///   [`tracing-futures`] crate is used to instrument async code, the span trace
///   will represent the logical application context a future was running in,
///   rather than the stack trace of the executor that was polling a future when
///   an error occurred.
///
/// Finally, unlike stack [`Backtrace`]s, capturing a `SpanTrace` is fairly
/// lightweight, and the resulting struct is not large. The `SpanTrace` struct
/// is formatted lazily; instead, it simply stores a copy of the current span,
/// and allows visiting the spans in that span's trace tree by calling the
/// [`with_spans` method][`with_spans`].
///
/// # Formatting
///
/// The `SpanTrace` type implements `fmt::Display`, formatting the span trace
/// similarly to how Rust formats panics. For example:
///
/// ```text
///    0: custom_error::do_another_thing
///         with answer=42 will_succeed=false
///           at examples/examples/custom_error.rs:42
///    1: custom_error::do_something
///         with foo="hello world"
///           at examples/examples/custom_error.rs:37
/// ```
///
/// Additionally, if custom formatting is desired, the [`with_spans`] method can
/// be used to visit each span in the trace, formatting them in order.
