SelfDirtinessTracker (Hibernate JavaDocs)

All Superinterfaces:

PrimeAmongSecondarySupertypes

All Known Subinterfaces:

ExtendedSelfDirtinessTracker
```
public interface SelfDirtinessTracker
extends PrimeAmongSecondarySupertypes
```
Contract for an entity to report that it tracks the dirtiness of its own state, as opposed to needing Hibernate to perform state-diff dirty calculations.
Entity classes are free to implement this contract themselves. This contract is also introduced into the entity when using bytecode enhancement and requesting that entities track their own dirtiness.
