> Dead code elimination will remove the `secret_debugging_code()`, but leave the test. The peephole optimiser can then reduce it to a NOP, but won't eliminate it as it is the only instruction for line 1.

Gotcha. I am pretty sure that this will have a similar problem as the coverage people were claiming when we were not properly removing all dead code (slightly less coverage percentage). This is not a problem of course, but we should ping the coverage folks so they are aware of this.
