-* Using `~torchmetrics.MetricTracker` wrapper with Lightning is a special case, because the wrapper in itself is not a metric
-  i.e. it does not inherit from the base `~torchmetrics.Metric` class but instead from `~torch.nn.ModuleList`. Thus,
-  to log the output of this metric one needs to manually log the returned values (not the object) using `self.log`
-  and for epoch level logging this should be done in the appropriate `on_***_epoch_end` method.
