Yep. The difficulties are:
1. Getting data off the autotester. Currently it's nearly
impossible, as is making any changes to it.

2. Collating data from multiple platforms, as there is a lot
of platform-specific code in e.g. std.stdio, std.file, and
most of Druntime.
3. since the coverage is computed at run-time by the
application that runs the tests all the static code (+ CTFE) is
considered NOT covered. This gives misleading results.
For example std.traits will probably have a bad coverage while
actually it's pretty good.
Not really an issue since DMD only counts the code that goes into
the binary for coverage. Uncovered lines will have seven zeroes
before the |, whereas lines with no compiled code will have
nothing.
