One thing I'm definitely uncomfortable about is expressing the
requirement in a way that depends on a non-stdlib module
(coverage.py). Should coverage.py be added to the stdlib if we're
going to take test coverage as a measure? Hmm, maybe it goes without
saying, but does coverage.py work on Jython, IronPython, etc? (A quick
google search actually indicates that there might be some issues still
to be resolved...)
