I wonder if there's any point in smoking PERL_OLD_COPY_ON_WRITE
any more? I presume it been superseded for all practical purposes by
PERL_NEW_COPY_ON_WRITE?

Instead, while PERL_NEW_COPY_ON_WRITE is temporarily not the default
(till after 5.18), perhaps we should smoke that as an option instead?

(The OLD has a couple of consistent failures, which I suspect no one will
be in a hurry to fix).
