I don't collect any information about where sub calls go to or come
from, although I can't immediately think of any reason why that data
shouldn't be collected.  I'm not yet sure how well that would fit under
the coverage umbrella, but I'm mostly watching England getting
splattered by SA at the moment, so I'm not really thinking particularly
analytically.

Most of the infrastructure is in place for path coverage, but the data
isn't collected at the moment.

This seems to be a bit of a problem.  Since Michael Carman did such a
good job with the HTML report no one has felt much of a need to scratch
any coverage itches.  There is an svk annotation, which will finger
whoever checked in that uncovered code, but I don't know of any others
having been written.  There's also a nice compilation report from Denis
Howe which outputs coverage errors like compiler errors so you can jump
to them in your editor.

I've started on a sort report to provide an optimal test ordering, so
that you can do the majority of your testing as soon as possible, or
identify tests which don't add to your coverage, but this isn't finished
yet.
