/**
 * <p>
 * A special {@code NodeHandler} implementation for tracked nodes.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * While basic access to a tracked node works in the same way as for usual
 * immutable nodes, there are differences for other operations. For instance,
 * the root node of the hierarchy is always the tracked node itself. Also the
 * parent mapping requires some special attention: as long as the node is not
 * detached, the parent mapping of the model to which the node belongs can be
 * used.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * This class inherits the major part of the {@code NodeHandler} implementation
 * from its base class. In order to implement the parent mapping, an underlying
 * {@code NodeHandler} object has to be passed at construction time which
 * contains this information; requests for a node's parent are delegated to this
 * handler. Further, the root node has to be provided explicitly.
 * </p>
 *
