Description

It would be nice to see a Jaeger tracer interface. If this isn't already in the works (I searched but didn't see anything), I could attempt a PR.

Research direction
Examine the existing tracing interface in the go kit/kit repository, particularly the tracing package and any existing tracer implementations (e.g., zipkin). Determine the required interface and implement a Jaeger tracer that conforms to the same pattern. Check for any ongoing work or related issues #852. No existing PRs found.
