<p>This macro is a specialized tool: it is intended to be used prior
to an expensive computation required <em>just</em> for that event, but
<em>cannot</em> be done as part of an argument to that event, such as
when multiple events are emitted (e.g., iterating over a collection
<p><ahref="trait.Subscriber.html"title="trait tracing::Subscriber">Subscribers</a> can make filtering decisions based all the data included in a
span or event’s <ahref="struct.Metadata.html"title="struct tracing::Metadata"><code>Metadata</code></a>. This means that it is possible for <code>enabled!</code>
to return a <em>false positive</em> (indicating that something would be enabled
when it actually would not be) or a <em>false negative</em> (indicating that
something would be disabled when it would actually be enabled).</p>
<p>This occurs when a subscriber is using a <em>more specific</em> filter than the
metadata provided to the <code>enabled!</code> macro. Some situations that can result
in false positives or false negatives include:</p>
<ul>
<li>If a subscriber is using a filter which may enable a span or event based
on field names, but <code>enabled!</code> is invoked without listing field names,
<code>enabled!</code> may return a false negative if a specific field name would
cause the subscriber to enable something that would otherwise be disabled.</li>
<li>If a subscriber is using a filter which enables or disables specific events by
file path and line number, a particular event may be enabled/disabled
even if an <code>enabled!</code> invocation with the same level, target, and fields
indicated otherwise.</li>
<li>The subscriber can choose to enable <em>only</em> spans or <em>only</em> events, which <code>enabled</code>
will not reflect.</li>
</ul>
<p><code>enabled!()</code> requires a <ahref="struct.Level.html"title="struct tracing::Level">level</a> argument, an optional <code>target:</code>
argument, and an optional set of field names. If the fields are not provided,
they are considered to be unknown. <code>enabled!</code> attempts to match the
syntax of <code>event!()</code> as closely as possible, which can be seen in the
<p><code>enabled!</code> queries subscribers with <ahref="struct.Metadata.html"title="struct tracing::Metadata"><code>Metadata</code></a> where
<ahref="struct.Metadata.html#method.is_event"title="method tracing::Metadata::is_event"><code>is_event</code></a> and <ahref="struct.Metadata.html#method.is_span"title="method tracing::Metadata::is_span"><code>is_span</code></a> both return <code>false</code>. Alternatively,
use <ahref="macro.event_enabled.html"title="macro tracing::event_enabled"><code>event_enabled!</code></a> or <ahref="macro.span_enabled.html"title="macro tracing::span_enabled"><code>span_enabled!</code></a> to ensure one of these
