I have considered making `Context` the only used interface, but I hated the
fact that each `Span` constructor would copy a `shared_ptr`. (And `Span`s can
be pretty ubiquitous).
On the other hand, that should not happen when tracing is off, so we won't be
adding overhead when `Span` are not used.
Will try moving `ContextData` into `.cpp` file, this should certainly be an
implementation detail. And we can expose it later if we'll actually have a
use-case for that (i.e. not copying `shared_ptr`s).

I'd also go with `Context Ctx` rather than `Ctx C`. I'd say `Context` is quite
a small and concise name. It even reads better than `Ctx` to me.
But I'm fine either way, so will change the name to `Ctx`.
