A Trace mechanism is used to report events and state changes of objects in a generalised way. Objects (TraceProducer) generate a sequence of marks, which are send to a trace manager (Trace). The trace manager broadcasts the marks to all registered trace handler (TraceConsumer). A Mark is defined by its type (MarkType). A sender can use one of the predefined mark-functions to send a mark or compose a mark out of tags.
