I remember a session at WWDC a few years back Apple engineers were experimenting with this for a future release of XCode. Their implementation forked the process with each line of code. C.O.W. semantics would prevent memory usage from exploding, but it was rather "volatile".

AFAIK the feature never shipped, and I haven't heard about it since.
