+Add-on base class for a trackable object. This class maintains
+an internal linked list of classes of type wxTrackerNode and
+calls OnObjectDestroy() on them if this object is destroyed.
+The most common usage is by using the \helpref{wxWeakRef<T>}{wxweakref}

+API. Its only use is by deriving another class from it to
+make it trackable.
