        <description>
          <para>The <code>trackable</code> class provides automatic
          disconnection of signals and slots when objects bound in
          slots (via pointer or reference) are destroyed. The
          <code>trackable</code> class may only be used as a public
          base class for some other class; when used as such, that
          class may be bound to function objects used as part of
          slots. The manner in which a <code>trackable</code> object
          tracks the set of signal-slot connections it is a part of is
          unspecified.</para>
        
          <para>The actual use of <code>trackable</code> is contingent
          on the presence of appropriate
          <functionname>visit_each</functionname> overloads for any
          type that may contain pointers or references to trackable
          objects.</para>
