      The current tracker config.

    *db*
      The current database, used to access arbitrary database items.

    *utils*
      This is a special class that has its base in the TemplatingUtils

    *templates*
      Access to all the tracker templates by name.
      Used mainly in *use-macro* commands.

    *template*
      Current rendering template.

    *true*
      Logical True value.

    *false*
      Logical False value.

        Attributes: Note that the "start" attribute, unlike the
        argument, is a 1-based index (I know, lame).  "first" is the
        0-based index.  "length" is the actual number of elements in
        the batch.

        "sequence_length" is the length of the original, unbatched, sequence.
