Thanks!

I took a quick poke around and it seems some things are legitimately not
being executed, while others are error conditions that we wouldn't expect
to occur (e.g. memory exhaustion). If we ever decide to get serious about
code coverage (both C and Python code) we may need to have a discussion as
a group about our feelings related to pragmas dictating when code should be
left out of coverage reports.
