The goal of tracing-filter is to provide an event filtering layer capable of filtering the tracing event stream down to the important events for tracing whatever it is you want to trace in your program's execution.

But in order to do that, I need to know how people actually want to be able to filter the event stream! What kinds of queries would you like to be able to make? What narrowed stream(s) of events would make debugging easier?

If you've ever manually filtered through a list of events, I want to know what signal you were filtering for; what noise you were filtering out. Especially if the filter is something not currently possible with the current EnvFilter.

I want to know what you want to be able to do. Let me know, so I can try to make it possible!

Here's something I don't know if it has a use case: enabling the tracing spans of some crate, but not enabling the events from the same crate. Separating the activation of spans from events is technically possible, but I don't think you'd ever want to actually do it?
