Description

Multi-threading loops are ignored in counting and each such a loop leads to one missed count. So, the final coverage figures are always lower than the true ones. I wonder if is any way to avoid this.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the missed-count behavior for a multi-threaded loop in Coverage.jl and trace how coverage counts are collected. Done means multi-threaded loops are included in the final coverage figures without reducing the true count.
