New traces not created in some cases (where I think they should)

[tobias-]

There are some traces that should be auto-created by instrumentation imho:

• Initialization (e.g. psv main() or when the context is initialized/set up by e.g. war/ear). It's not in any way compilcated to add a @WithSpan for the main(), but it would be nice if it was there from the start.
• Timer tasks (e.g. (new Timer("heartBeat", true))..scheduleAtFixedRate(new HeartBeatRunnable(), freqMillis, freqMillis); )
  Every time HeartBeatRunnable().run() is invoked, it should be in a new trace. I can't come up with any scenario where any schedule should be part of the trace that scheduled the execution.

Nice ideas, @tobias- . Can you create two separate tasks for them?
