"Tracker is a system for providing feature rich first class object."

In primary school, when we had to define something we weren't allowed
to use the same word to describe itself. Explaining what a "first
class object database" is by saying "Its a database for first class
objects" is kinda redundant.

I, too, would like to know what a first class object database is, and
why I need one.

I know what Beagle is, it lets me search my data, and I know why I
need to do that...
