trackObjs will not work together with mvbutils -- both use active
bindings to store objects on disk, and I would expect that trying to use
both together would cause all sort of nasty conflicts. I would think it
would be possible to fold the creation/modification time recording from
trackObjs into mvbutils, but it would probably be a significant amount
of work.

Hello Colleagues,
I've recently become a fan of Mark Bravington's mvbutils package for organizing
analysis projects in a tree.
Using cd(), Save(), fixr(), mlazy() etcetera solves nicely some of the
nuisances that have worried or annoyed me and sometimes caused
big problems over the years. Well thought out.
Now one feature that would be fabulous would be automatic time-stamping of
objects.
The trackObjs package from provides this, among other services.
The question is, can the two packages work together peacefully?
One curiosity: they have opposite ideas of the word "cache".
In mvbutils, a cached object is one that is stored on disk, only retrieved into
memory when needed.
In trackObjs, a cached object is one that is stored in memory as well as on
disk.
More than a curiosity, also potentially a bad sign for compatibility between
the two packages.
Anyone have experience with the two together, and care to share it?
Thanks!
