This API uses the process dictionary to collect span information   
and can be used when all span tags an events happen in the same   
request handling process. There is only 1 span managed with this API.   
Pre-filtering is supported with the start_with_tags functions.</p>
  
   If you need more spans managed on the process dictionary, then look
   at the 'otter_span_mpdict_api' API module which can manage multiple
   spans with different names.
