Thanks Matthew and Hadley; that is exactly what I was looking for, and them 
some.

Note that tracemem detects duplications (in a technical R sense), not
copies - i.e.

x <- 1:10
tracemem(x)
x[11] <- 11L

although all the individual elements are copied, the vector is not
duplicated.  This confused me at first, so I thought I'd point it out.
