Dropped 1 attribute entry because it was invalid or would have exceeded field limit (128) error

Despite my best efforts I've accumulated a few errors like

Dropped 1 attribute entry because it was invalid or would have exceeded field limit (128)

It'd be really helpful if the error could be accompanied with the name of the span and the name of the attribute. It's a lot of tedium to track down these errors without.

(I see in the code why it's not; but if the code noticing the problem can't produce a useful log maybe it could return an appropriate error to the calling code to do the logging instead? I don't know what the modern Perl way of doing that is anymore!)

Hm, yeah, I was myself a little torn on this, but it's true that the way it currently behaves means tracking things down is harder. I think the big problem is that this is an area where it's easy to go from not enough logging to way too much logging (this is the reason why we don't log undefined values, for example, although technically we probably should).

We should also look into how other implementations handle this.
