Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

as we discussed with @evan-bradley at KubeCon we'd like to contribute to OTTL and identified some features which are missing from our point of view and we'd like to contribute them.

i'm bringing here (hopefully) a descriptive task list with these items to discuss and find agreement which of these fit and which do not fit upstream

for those we agree to work on upstream I'd create a separate issues where we can talk specifics

Describe the solution you'd like
