Description

We currently only track coverage information collated at the line level, but it might be useful to be able to build tools like ProfileView.jl that shows instead that information further broken down by the called types of the arguments. This would require support upstream in julia's codegen itself, as well as downstream, in the presentation tools

Research direction

Start by reviewing ProfileView.jl and the current line-level coverage processing in CoverageTools.jl. Map what support would be needed in Julia's codegen and in downstream presentation tools; the work is complete only when signature-based coverage can be produced and presented across those boundaries.
