[BUG]: Documentation bug. Tracer.ChildOf is mentioned in examples, but in code it's set as deprecated

Tracer Version(s)

v2.2.3

Go Version(s)

go version go1.24.6 darwin/arm64

Bug Report

The documentation regarding dd-trace-go v2 documentation regarding distributed tracing has this code:

Then, on the server side, to continue the trace one would do:

  sctx, err := tracer.Extract(tracer.HTTPHeadersCarrier(req.Header))
  // ...
  span := tracer.StartSpan("child.span", tracer.ChildOf(sctx))

But the documentation also says that tracer.ChildOf is deprecated. So like I am confused, how am I supposed to continue with a child span in distributed tracing, if I am a server who was called by someone

Please see #3793 & #3866. You can still use ChildOf, even if marked as deprecated.

Closing this in favour of the mentioned discussion and PR.
