Pity!

I do. It seems to me that coverage is a very useful tool that shouldn’t be 
unusable for certain programs if we can avoid it. If we should include it in 
CPython in the end probably depends on how much it complicates the 
implementation and/or how solid tests are written obviously.

I would point out that we can still get another coverage metric for these 
scenarios though: mutation coverage. But that’s extremely slow to collect 
compared to traditional coverage.
