/** @file element-tracker.hpp
** Tracking instances automatically on creation and disposal.
** These helper templates can be used to provide a registry of all objects
** of some kind or type. The class to be used with instance tracking needs
** to cooperate, typically by inheriting from lib::AutoRegistered. Moreover,
** the instance lifecycle handling is assumed to utilise lumiera::P or a
** similar smart-ptr, which allows the registry to hold a safe reference.
** Thus, references won't be cleaned up automatically (as there is always
** at least one reference left) -- rather we rely on invoking a dispose or
** unlink function explicitly.
**
** The standard use case for this feature is the management of the structural
** facade assets Timeline and Sequence within the session. They're created
** automatically to reflect some internal structures within the model;
** with the help of lib::ElementTracker we can expose a list of
** all instances as part of the public Session interface.
**
** @warning AutoRegistered does not check accessibility of the configured
** registry, when detaching an element. Especially, when detaching in turn
** gets automatically invoked from some kind of cleanup, care has to be taken
** to ensure the registry is still available. The Functions
** AutoRegistered::is_attached_to and AutoRegistered::deactivateRegistryLink
** can be used for detaching an Registry explicitly before destruction.
** Ignoring this might lead to segfault on application shutdown. /////////////////TICKET #574
** @warning be sure to understand the implications of object identity,
** especially when it comes to closing and opening the Session. Especially
** note that Assets use a systematic identity, not an instance identity,
** which might lead to removing an old instance from the new session.
