Description

Describe the solution you'd like
I use bottle as web framework and the WSGI Instrumentation to trace my app. It's work fine, but I can't config an exclude list (as for flask or fastAPI).

Describe alternatives you've considered
I thought about making a version of the instrumentation specifically for Bottle, but I think all WSGI frameworks might need to pass an exclusion list to the constructor.I

Thank you

Research direction

Start by locating OpenTelemetryMiddleware and the WSGI instrumentation entry point, then compare how exclusion lists are handled in the Flask or FastAPI instrumentation mentioned in the issue. Done means WSGI instrumentation accepts an exclusion list for frameworks such as Bottle and has coverage for that behavior.
