[Discuss] CoW for Ext4?



I've discovered how useful it is to take a copy-on-write clone of a disk
tree when I want to repair application data consisting of lots of large
files.  (Virtual Box VMs and Apple Music libraries are the cases I've
used.)  Apple's APFS handles this easily.  I hesitate to ask, but has
CoW support been proposed for Ext4?
