Hi!

A looong time ago, I opened this issue about wrong coverage report by Julia:

> After the new version of Coverage, the coverage information does not… seem to be right. Take a look, for example, at the function \`compose\_rotation\` here:

about wrong coverage report by Julia. By that time, passing `--inline=no` to Julia would fix some problems. However, we needed a patch to Pkg.jl to make it available during the tests. This was done here:

> <https://github.com/JuliaLang/Pkg.jl/pull/870>

> This is meant as an alternative to PR #866 for resolving issue #865

With Julia 1.6.0, I still see weird things even with `--inline=no`. Check for example this report:

Question: Is there any way to improve this?
