Thanks for all the advice! Several good suggestions here, which we’ll look further into.

I am a bit skeptical to relying on code coverage for any part of this, since I find that it’s not working very well in Julia 0.7. I just started [a new topic](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/code-coverage-works-poorly-in-julia-0-7/14522) about this.
