8## Overarching Purpose

10This code provides a way to attach a `census_context` to a `grpc_call`,
11allowing for the propagation of tracing and stats information.

15*   `grpc_context.cc`: Implements `grpc_census_call_set_context` and
16    `grpc_census_call_get_context`, which are used to attach and retrieve a
17    `census_context` from a `grpc_call`'s arena.

19## Notes
20 
21*   This integration is considered obsolete. OpenCensus and OpenTelemetry are
22    the modern, recommended ways to instrument gRPC.
