Ah.. we have come a full circle on this one. From going to a flag, to a type,
and now back to flag. Personally, I like COW to be a flag, because we are
doing a write, just doining extra steps which should be a flag.
From previous objections, using two iomaps should help the cause and we
can not worry about bloating.
