+ * Generate a "src/semconv.ts" in the given workspace dir, which includes
+ * copies of the unstable semconv definitions used in this package.
+ * (It finds usages by looking for imports from
+ * `@opentelemetry/semantic-conventions/incubating`.)
+ *
+ * This is to support the recommendation from
+ *   https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-js/tree/main/semantic-conventions#unstable-semconv
+ * that any usage of unstable Semantic Conventions definitions should be done
+ * by *copying* those definitions to a local file in this package.
+ *
+ * Usage:
+ *      node scripts/gen-semconv-ts.js [WORKSPACE-DIR]
+ *
+ * If WORKSPACE-DIR is not given, it defaults to the current dir.
