+// Package memcache provides functions to trace the bradfitz/gomemcache package (https://github.com/bradfitz/gomemcache).
+//
+// `WrapClient` will wrap a memcache `Client` and return a new struct with all
+// the same methods, so should be seamless for existing applications. It also
+// has an additional `WithContext` method which can be used to connect a span
+// to an existing trace.
