Concerns hpi-swa-lab/squeak-tracedebugger#74

Usage:

  • TrackingSimulatordebug: [
    | xy |
    x :=Morphnew.
    y := x].
    BasicInspectoropenOn: y.
  • in the context of a complex morph:
    TrackingSimulatordebug: [
    selfallMorphsDo: [:x | x color]]

Next steps:

  • Revise tracking and untracking places - currently, receiver et al. are not tracked properly
  • Discuss need for transparent proxy
  • Proper support for primitives
  • Tests

Further work (can go into separate PRs):

  • Discuss API for displaying tracked information and usage in production (for TDB, this approach would be slow)
  • We could also use this to explain side effects from a sandbox or TDB retracing
  • Discuss target package and category
