When running coverage, lines that should have run but didn't are called "unexecuted." What's a word for the opposite? Lines we said wouldn't run, but did: Sneaks? Surprises? Gremlins? Escapees? We need ideas! github.com/nedbat/coverag… (also need opinions about how to report...)

Looking for opinions: when combining data files, should “*/foo” match “foo/bar”? Should relative_files=True mean that we always match file paths by prefixes? github.com/nedbat/coverag…
