// TracerProvider provides Tracers that are used by instrumentation code to
// trace computational workflows.
//
// A TracerProvider is the collection destination of all Spans from Tracers it
// provides, it represents a unique telemetry collection pipeline. How that
// pipeline is defined, meaning how those Spans are collected, processed, and
// where they are exported, depends on its implementation. Instrumentation
// authors do not need to define this implementation, rather just use the
// provided Tracers to instrument code.
//
// Commonly, instrumentation code will accept a TracerProvider implementation
// at runtime from its users or it can simply use the globally registered one
// (see https://pkg.go.dev/go.opentelemetry.io/otel#GetTracerProvider).
//
// Warning: Methods may be added to this interface in minor releases. See
// package documentation on API implementation for information on how to set
// default behavior for unimplemented methods.

embedded.TracerProvider
// Tracer returns a unique Tracer scoped to be used by instrumentation code
// to trace computational workflows. The scope and identity of that
// instrumentation code is uniquely defined by the name and options passed.
//
// The passed name needs to uniquely identify instrumentation code.
// Therefore, it is recommended that name is the Go package name of the
// library providing instrumentation (note: not the code being
// instrumented). Instrumentation libraries can have multiple versions,
// therefore, the WithInstrumentationVersion option should be used to
// distinguish these different codebases. Additionally, instrumentation
// libraries may sometimes use traces to communicate different domains of
// workflow data (i.e. using spans to communicate workflow events only). If
// this is the case, the WithScopeAttributes option should be used to
// uniquely identify Tracers that handle the different domains of workflow
// data.
//
// If the same name and options are passed multiple times, the same Tracer
// will be returned (it is up to the implementation if this will be the
// same underlying instance of that Tracer or not). It is not necessary to
// call this multiple times with the same name and options to get an
// up-to-date Tracer. All implementations will ensure any TracerProvider
// configuration changes are propagated to all provided Tracers.
//
// If name is empty, then an implementation defined default name will be
// used instead.
//
// This method is safe to call concurrently.
