I'd love something like this on program level. Given contents of a variable, I'd like to know where they came from - which pieces of code contributed to the result. I'd also love to be able to mark a piece of data, and see what code touched it or derived new data from it. A programming equivalent of injecting radioisotopes into the body.

I’d suggest looking into taint analysis tools, though those are usually aimed more at finding things like unsanitized input ending up in a call to system.
