Motivation
The 'tracing::span!' macro supports passing in field names as string literals, which can be used to use an invalid Rust identifier as a field name (e.g. "type"). However, the 'instrument!' macro required that arguments to 'fields' be period-separated Rust identifiers.
Solution
This commit extends the
#[instrument]
macro to support both period-separated identifiers and single string-literal fields. We preserve the original argument and pass it to thetracing::span!
macro to preserve span/hygiene information.Fixes #2438
