go.opentelemetry.io/otel/bridge/opencensus (go): Package opencensus provides a migration bridge from OpenCensus to OpenTelemetry. The NewTracer function should be used to create an OpenCensus Tracer from an OpenTelemetry Tracer. This Tracer can be use in place of any existing OpenCensus Tracer and will generate OpenTelemetry spans for traces. These spans will be exported by the OpenTelemetry TracerProvider the original OpenTelemetry Tracer came from.  There are known limitations to this bridge:  - The AddLink method for OpenCensus Spans is not compatible with the OpenTelemetry Span. No link can be added to an OpenTelemetry Span once it is started. Any calls to this method for the OpenCensus Span will result in an error being sent to the OpenTelemetry default ErrorHandler.  - The NewContext method of the OpenCensus Tracer cannot embed an OpenCensus Span in a context unless that Span was created by that Tracer.  - Conversion of custom OpenCensus Samplers to OpenTelemetry is not implemented. An error will be sent to the OpenTelemetry default ErrorHandler if this is attempted.
