Yes! It would be terribly slow (like trap on stores within an address
range or list), so there should be a way to turn it off most of the
time, and possibly only enable it conditionally from a certain point
under certain conditions, but it would certainly speed up debugging of
certain kinds of problems. (Even in ye olden days, working from octal
memory dumps, load maps, and cross-reference maps on super-computers, I
would have to create such mental visual paths and there was always the
risk of the mental map diverging from reality.)
