 * The functions in this module return an object literal with the following shape:
 *
 * @typedef {Object} TracingHeaders
 * @property {string} [traceId] the trace ID:
 *     - will be used for span.t
 *     - will be used for propagating X-SUPERTENANT-T downstream
 *     - will be used for the trace ID part when propagating traceparent downstream
 * @property {string} [longTraceId]
 *     - the full trace ID, when limiting a 128 bit trace ID to 64 bit has occured
 *     - when no limiting has been applied, this is unset
 *     - will be used for span.lt
 * @property {boolean} usedTraceParent
 *     - true if and only if trace ID and parent ID have been taken from the traceparent head (instead of being either
 *       taken from X-INSTAN-T/X-SUPERTENANT-S or having been generated).
 * @property {string} [parentId]
 *     - the parent span ID
 *     - will be used for span.p
 *     - can be null, when this is a the root entry span of a new trace
 * @property {string} level
 *     - the tracing level, either '1' (tracing) or '0' (suppressing/not creating spans)
 *     - progated downstream as the first component of X-SUPERTENANT-L
 *     - propagted downstream as the sampled flag in traceparent
 * @property {string} [correlationType]
 *     - the correlation type parsed from X-SUPERTENANT-L
 *     - will be used for span.crtp
 *     - will not be propagated downstream
 * @property {string} [correlationId]
 *     - the correlation ID parsed from X-SUPERTENANT-L
 *     - will be used for span.crid
 *     - will not be propagated downstream
 * @property {boolean} synthetic
 *     - true if and only if X-SUPERTENANT-SYNTHETIC=1 was present
 *     - will be used for span.sy
 *     - will not be propagated downstream
 * @property {InstanaAncestor} [instanaAncestor]
 *     - only captured when no X-SUPERTENANT-T/S were incoming, but traceparent plus tracestate with an "in" key-value pair
 *       were present in the incoming request
 *     - will be used as span.ia when present
 * @property {import('./w3c_trace_context/W3cTraceContext')} w3cTraceContext
 *     - the W3C trace context information that was extracted from the incoming request headers traceparent and
 *       tracestate or a newly created W3C trace context if those headers were not present or invalid
 *     - will be used to initialize the internal representation of the incoming traceparent/tracestate
 *     - will be used to manipulate that internal representation according to the W3C trace context spec when creating
 *       new child spans and propagating W3C trace context headers downstream
 *     - see ./w3c_trace_context/W3cTraceContext for documentation of attributes
