I tend to agree as well. It's a pretty specialised case, and
presumably tools similar to coverage for languages like C manage to
deal with the issue.

Like Raymond, I can't quite explain my reservations, but it feels like
this proposal leans towards overspecifying implementation details, in
a way that will limit future development of the optimiser.
