How much does this measure in terms of numbers produced by
coverage-html (see [1])?  The paths taken don't always matter as it
can also be important to check combinations of code paths that are
taken by other tests when checking after edge cases, but that would
give an idea of gain vs extra runtime.  Not objecting to your patch,
just being curious as I am not seeing any numbers posted on this
thread.
