Per discussion in Discord - @hawkw saw this as a desirable feature, to support emitting generic text in tracing without requiring that there be an underlying &str value.

Note that I used the Display output directly in the Debug impl for Value::Display - this seems a little awkward, but I'm not sure of a better option.

Thanks for working on this! I think we probably want to make the as_display method also return a Display trait object for primitive types that implement Display, so I would probably change that before merging this.

i wonder if we want to quote this while debug printing it? it's essentially a different way of recording a string, and strings are quoted in fmt::Debug. @carllerche WDYT?

This indicates that `Display` values are essentially being recorded as
strings, rather than structured data, in the `Debug` output.

I opened chanks#1 to suggest a few potential changes to this PR. @chanks, please take a look and feel free to merge that branch into yours if you like! I would like to get this merged soon, if you have the time. Otherwise, I'm also happy to take it across the finish line, if you're busy.

this looks good to me, thanks for applying the changes i suggested!

it would be nice to get an approval from @carllerche or @taiki-e before merging this, since i wrote some of the code in it :)

// XXX(eliza): this, sadly, does not work for `Path`s; the
// only way to return them as a `Display` impl is
// `Path::display`, which creates a value owned by _this_
// function; we can't return that as a trait object because
// we're borrowing it from the function's scope rather than
// from the value itself.

#43 (comment) is one of alternatives that can handle this case well.

I think it would be preferable to compare this with the approach discussed in #43 before merging. (having both is confusing.)

This is going to be a blocker for fully replacing tracing's value system with valuable, so it would be nice to get this one figured out...
