LEGAL BOILERPLATE

Look, I get it. The entity doing business as "Sentry" was incorporated in the State of Delaware in 2015 as Functional Software, Inc. and is gonna need some rights from me in order to utilize my contributions in this here PR. So here's the deal: I retain all rights, title and interest in and to my contributions, and by keeping this boilerplate intact I confirm that Sentry can use, modify, copy, and redistribute my contributions, under Sentry's choice of terms.

Request Review

For example, on a span attribute that only gets added to the span after it was started.
- Filtering entire segments based on data that is unknown prior to segment start.
For example, `http.server` segments ending in a 404 response.
- Use cases where we mutata or make decisions on multiple spans at once (e.g. calculating and setting the total token usage on parent spans of `gen_ai` spans).
