Is there a convenient way to exclude it from coverage ?
Because adjusting the -cov=xx percentage is kind of annoying
and may omit other things as well.
Do you care and if yes how do you handle it ?
You have several options
1. conditional compilation
make toString not existing if instrumentation for coverage is
enabled:
```d
version(D_Coverage) @disable string toString();
else string toString(){...}
```
2. use `toString` in a `unittest` that does nothing
```d
unittest {
static foreach (T; AliasSeq!(StuffWithToString)){
{
T t = new T; // or T t;
t.toString();
}}
}
```
I'd use option 2.
For example I already employ this technic to cover string
generator functions used in `mixin()` for example.
Also in case `toString` is finally a bit used the option 1 will
be hard to manage.
