OK, here is something that I would really like: http://llvm.org/devmtg/2012-11/Weber_TypeAwareMemoryProfiling.pdf
Basically, this is a language extension that asks the compiler to store type information for each object in memory, so that one can query at runtime the type of what's stored at a given address. That would be useful e.g. for refgraph ( https://github.com/bjacob/mozilla-central/wiki/Refgraph ) and, I suppose, that also wouldn't hurt to know more about heap-unclassified in about:memory. Basically, everything would be 'classified' at least by c++ type name. And that would also be a nice tool to have around during long debugging sessions. So, I would appreciate if you could figure if there is any intention to add something like this in the standard.
