Tracking specifics

The new tracking system is awesome, but something struck me earlier today when out hunting aberrations that possibly could make it even more so!

If you're out tracking something specific, especially in a very crowded area, the veritable wall of text (often filling the entire combat log from top to bottom of your screen) can make it annoying. Thus, would it be possible to add a way to specify -what- it is you're searching for tracks of? That is, by adding a word to the "/c track" command, namely the group of creatures you want, to make it only show that creature group (if around). For example, "/c track aberrations" would find aberrations, "/c track goblinoids" would find goblinoids, and so on. Would make things a bit less cluttered.

I've been pondering ways to improve tracking using parameters like this, and this proposal sounds really good.

I'll work on this when I get some time.

Added in v955. I have some ideas for other tracking improvements to make as well, but this one is definitely in.

I will be putting together some comprehensive documentation about tracking for the Information for New Players forum, to clear up some common misconceptions about how tracking works on EFU.
