1. `RateLimitingSampler` can be used to allow only a certain fixed
number of traces to be sampled per second.
+#### Delayed sampling
+
+Version 2.20 introduced the ability to delay sampling decisions in the life cycle
+of the root span. It involves several features and architectural changes:
+ * **Shared sampling state**: the sampling state is shared across all local
+ (i.e. in-process) spans for a given trace.
+ * **New `SamplerV2` API** allows the sampler to be called at multiple points
+ in the life cycle of a span:
+ * on span creation
+ * on overwriting span operation name
+ * on setting span tags
+ * on finishing the span
+ * **Final/non-final sampling state**: the new `SamplerV2` API allows the sampler
+ to indicate if the negative sampling decision is final or not (positive sampling
+ decisions are always final). If the decision is not final, the sampler will be
+ called again on further span life cycle events, like setting tags.
+
+These new features are used in the experimental `x.TagMatchingSampler`, which
+can sample a trace based on a certain tag added to the root
+span or one of its local (in-process) children. The sampler can be used with
+another experimental `x.PrioritySampler` that allows multiple samplers to try
+to make a sampling decision, in a certain priority order.

### Baggage Injection
The OpenTracing spec allows for [baggage][baggage], which are key value pairs that are added
