// WithTrace allocates a traced timing span in a new context. This allows a
// caller to track the time between calling WithTrace and the returned done
// function. When the done function is called, a log message is emitted with a
// "trace.duration" field, corresponding to the elapased time and a
// "trace.func" field, corresponding to the function that called WithTrace.
//
// The logging keys "trace.id" and "trace.parent.id" are provided to implement
// dapper-like tracing. This function should be complemented with a WithSpan
// method that could be used for tracing distributed RPC calls.
//
// The main benefit of this function is to post-process log messages or
// intercept them in a hook to provide timing data. Trace ids and parent ids
// can also be linked to provide call tracing, if so required.
//
// Here is an example of the usage:
//
// func timedOperation(ctx Context) {
// ctx, done := WithTrace(ctx)
// defer done("this will be the log message")
// // ... function body ...
// }
//
// If the function ran for roughly 1s, such a usage would emit a log message
// as follows:
//
// INFO[0001] this will be the log message trace.duration=1.004575763s trace.func=github.com/docker/distribution/context.traceOperation trace.id=<id> ...
//
// Notice that the function name is automatically resolved, along with the
// package and a trace id is emitted that can be linked with parent ids.
