Comment (by tdruiva):

 > I don't see the point in using macros here; they don't seem any cleaner
 than LCOV stuff, right?

 Yeah, you're right.

 Other point about these lcov exclude markers, we can use in a macro style
 instead of comment, like

 #define LCOV_EXCL_START
 #define  LCOV_EXCL_STOP

 LCOV_EXCL_START
 code
 .
 .
 .
  LCOV_EXCL_STOP

 > (I wonder if any other coverage tools have macros like this that they
 would expect us to use, and whether we're about to be littered with
 them...)

 I'll keep looking
