A much more valuable approach would be to work towards being able to

This would be really neat.

Also the ages-old problem of discarding unreferenced strings which
apparently still isn't possible would be great to have solved. E.g.
to couple strings to the file/module it belongs with and discard them
if the code is not probed.
