lldb -v   
LLDB-159

User Story?

I have an interactive test suite (python) that runs the actual test functions
in a child process directly after a fork. In cases where I'm working with C
extension modules in Python, cores happen and this allows me to manage them in
the parent process. The test suite runner (parent) is an interactive process
and I currently launch gdb with it's --core option to get the developer
directly into a context relevant to the crash. I would love to be able to do
this with lldb, but my attempts at creating a temporary file with "target
create --core-file /path/to/core /path/to/executable" and execute lldb with
"lldb -s /path/to/my/temp" have so far failed.

In short:

Could we get a --core option command parameter like gdb's? =)

...
A more appropriate alternative for this particular case may be a feature like
follow-fork, but I could never get that to work in gdb...
