That's interesting news. In my last job I used (the old) bisect
frequently.

What I really would love to see is negative coverage: Mark code sections
where you expect that they are never executed. That could be a simple
"assert false" but also more extensive error handling. Ideally, the tool
would automatically recognize certain patterns.

That's especially useful when you have a management that is after high
coverage numbers...
