## Motivation

In asynchronous systems like Tokio, interpreting traditional log
messages can often be quite challenging. Since individual tasks are
multiplexed on the same thread, associated events and log lines are
intermixed making it difficult to trace the logic flow. Currently, none
of the available logging frameworks or libraries in Rust offer the
ability to trace logical paths through a futures-based program.

There also are complementary goals that can be accomplished with such a
system. For example, metrics / instrumentation can be tracked by
observing emitted events, or trace data can be exported to a distributed
tracing or event processing system.

In addition, it can often be useful to generate this d...
