    Given an input class, this will return a class with tracking
    facilities. The tracking occurs on all the specified methods.
    The default will track all methods which could possibly change
    a 'list' or a 'dict'.

    The class will get an extra attribute 'hits' counting the number
    of times one of these methods was called. This value can be reset to
    zero to track changes after some breakpoint.

    The methods should be owned by the class itself, not by a parent class.
    The default list of tracked method will track possible changes in
    'list' and 'dict' classes.

    Example:

      >>> TrackedDict = track_class_factory(dict)
      >>> D = TrackedDict({'a':1,'b':2})
      >>> print D.hits
      0
