//! `Span` and `Event` key-value data.
//!
//! Spans and events may be annotated with key-value data, referred to as _fields_.
//! These fields consist of a mapping from a key (corresponding to
//! a `&str` but represented internally as an array index) to a [`Value`].
//!
//! # `Value`s and `Subscriber`s
//!
//! `Subscriber`s consume `Value`s as fields attached to [span]s or [`Event`]s.
//! The set of field keys on a given span or event is defined on its [`Metadata`].
//! When a span is created, it provides [`Attributes`] to the `Subscriber`'s
//! [`new_span`] method, containing any fields whose values were provided when
//! the span was created; and may call the `Subscriber`'s [`record`] method
//! with additional [`Record`]s if values are added for more of its fields.
//! Similarly, the [`Event`] type passed to the subscriber's [`event`] method
//! will contain any fields attached to each event.
//!
//! `tracing` represents values as either one of a set of Rust primitives
//! (`i64`, `u64`, `f64`, `bool`, and `&str`) or using a `fmt::Display` or
//! `fmt::Debug` implementation. `Subscriber`s are provided these primitive
//! value types as `dyn Value` trait objects.
//!
//! These trait objects can be formatted using `fmt::Debug`, but may also be
//! recorded as typed data by calling the [`Value::record`] method on these
//! trait objects with a _visitor_ implementing the [`Visit`] trait. This trait
//! represents the behavior used to record values of various types. For example,
//! an implementation of `Visit` might record integers by incrementing counters
//! for their field names rather than printing them.
//!
//!
//! # Using `valuable`
//!
//! `tracing`'s [`Value`] trait is intentionally minimalist: it supports only a small
//! number of Rust primitives as typed values, and only permits recording
//! user-defined types with their [`fmt::Debug`] or [`fmt::Display`]
//! implementations. However, there are some cases where it may be useful to record
//! nested values (such as arrays, `Vec`s, or `HashMap`s containing values), or
//! user-defined `struct` and `enum` types without having to format them as
//! unstructured text.
//!
//! To address `Value`'s limitations, `tracing` offers experimental support for
//! the [`valuable`] crate, which provides object-safe inspection of structured
//! values. User-defined types can implement the [`valuable::Valuable`] trait,
//! and be recorded as a `tracing` field by calling their [`as_value`] method.
//! If the [`Subscriber`] also supports the `valuable` crate, it can
//! then visit those types fields as structured values using `valuable`.
//!
//! <pre class="ignore" style="white-space:normal;font:inherit;">
//! <strong>Note</strong>: <code>valuable</code> support is an
//! <a href = "../index.html#unstable-features">unstable feature</a>. See
//! the documentation on unstable features for details on how to enable it.
//! </pre>
//!
//! For example:
//! ```ignore
//! // Derive `Valuable` for our types:
//! use valuable::Valuable;
//!
//! #[derive(Clone, Debug, Valuable)]
//! struct User {
//! name: String,
//! age: u32,
//! address: Address,
//! }
//!
//! #[derive(Clone, Debug, Valuable)]
//! struct Address {
//! country: String,
//! city: String,
//! street: String,
//! }
//!
//! let user = User {
//! name: "Arwen Undomiel".to_string(),
//! age: 3000,
//! address: Address {
//! country: "Middle Earth".to_string(),
//! city: "Rivendell".to_string(),
//! street: "leafy lane".to_string(),
//! },
//! };
//!
//! // Recording `user` as a `valuable::Value` will allow the `tracing` subscriber
//! // to traverse its fields as a nested, typed structure:
//! tracing::info!(current_user = user.as_value());
//! ```
//!
//! Alternatively, the [`valuable()`] function may be used to convert a type
//! implementing [`Valuable`] into a `tracing` field value.
//!
//! When the `valuable` feature is enabled, the [`Visit`] trait will include an
//! optional [`record_value`] method. `Visit` implementations that wish to
//! record `valuable` values can implement this method with custom behavior.
//! If a visitor does not implement `record_value`, the [`valuable::Value`] will
//! be forwarded to the visitor's [`record_debug`] method.
