/// Helper to track changes in `T` components
///
/// For each entity with a `T` component, a private component is inserted which stores the value as
/// of the most recent call to `track`. This provides robust, exact change detection at the cost of
/// visiting each possibly-changed entity. It is a good fit for entities that will typically be
/// visited regardless, and components having fast [`Clone`] and [`PartialEq`] impls. For components
/// which are expensive to compare and/or clone, consider instead tracking changes manually, e.g.
/// by setting a flag in the component's `DerefMut` implementation.
///
/// Always use exactly one `ChangeTracker` per [`World`] per component type of interest. Using
/// multiple trackers of the same `T` on the same world, or using the same tracker across multiple
/// worlds, will produce unpredictable results.
