Description

Just a question - Do we have any example to create span for a method with Annotations.? I see @WithSpan in extension for auto instrumenting..But i dont see any annotations for adding spans in code.

Will we support for non-autoinstrumented solutions? If not, do we have any references to create custom annotations to create spans for methods using annotations.
