Support "using" pattern in TS

[austinlparker]

Heya - got some feedback thru the community that it'd be great if we could support the 'using' keyword in TS 5.2+ for span creation. Didn't see an open issue so I just wanted to get it on the radar.

Hmm, that'd be a neat feature, thanks for bringing this up.

I'm worried this is going to be a difficult as the spec prohibits us to rev major on the API. Updating typescript for the API would be a breaking change as the emitted types may not be compatible with older TS versions. We'll need to find some solution to this before we can commit to this feature. We may after all have to hand-roll types for the API package in the future to allow these types of features.

Unfortunately #3955 is not going to help this along as it focuses on the SDK.
