// Tracked is the base class for all tracked objects.  During construction, it
// registers the fact that an instance was created, and at destruction time, it
// records that event.  The instance may be tagged with a name, which is refered
// to as its Location.  The Location is a file and line number, most
// typically indicated where the object was constructed.  In some cases, as the
// object's significance is refined (for example, a Task object is augmented to
// do additonal things), its Location may be redefined to that later location.

// Tracking includes (for each instance) recording the birth thread, death
// thread, and duration of life (from construction to destruction).  All this
// data is accumulated and filtered for review at about:objects.
