Will this dump text segments that have been COW'd for the purposes of inserting a breakpoint?
It's just a question of goals, I guess. We could dump code, but it's rarely useful, so historically we didn't. Similarly, we could dump mapped data from shared memory, but it can be huge and is rarely useful, so generally we don't.
