+// A NoopTracer is a trivial, minimum overhead implementation of Tracer
+// for which all operations are no-ops.
+//
+// The primary use of this implementation is in libraries, such as RPC
+// frameworks, that make tracing an optional feature controlled by the
+// end user. A no-op implementation allows said libraries to use it
+// as the default Tracer and to write instrumentation that does
+// not need to keep checking if the tracer instance is nil.
+//
+// For the same reason, the NoopTracer is the default "global" tracer
+// (see Tracer::Global and Tracer::InitGlobal functions).
+//
+// WARNING: NoopTracer does not support baggage propagation.
