This is to shrink the PR #100.
The only place where the registry.Variable type was used was metrics,
so just inline that type into its only user. The use of the
registry.Variable type in core.Key was limited to the Name field.
The stats package also used the registry.Variable type, but seems that
also only the Name field was used and the package is going to be
dropped anyway.
* Merge two event methods in span API
There was an agreement to get rid of the Event interface and
consolidate the two methods for adding events into one. See #57.
* Eliminate the use of the Event interface
There is no need for the SDK to provide the implementation of the
Event interface - it is used nowhere.
* Drop the Event interface
It's dead code now.
* Make it possible to override a finish timestamp through options
Opentracing to opentelemetry bridge will certainly use this feature.
* Obey the start time option
* Add tests for events and custom start/end times
* Move scope.Active to trace.CurrentSpan
* Remove scope / does not build
* Global tracer
* Checkpoint
* Checkpoint
* Add key/key.go for key.New
* Comments
* Remove more EventID and ScopeID
* Use Handle to describe static objects
* TODOs
* Remove empty file
* Remove singletons
* Update TODOs
* TODO about map update
* Make stats package option aliases (like key has)
* Rename experimental/streaming
* streaming SDK builds w/ many TODOs
* Get the examples building
* Tidy up metric API / add interface check
* Remove logic from the registry; this is now a placeholder
This makes it more obvious (without having to look at the code) that
the basic example is actually an example, rather than something tied to
the other examples or some sort of metadata file.
