Description

See https://github.com/florence/cover/issues/91

Roughly the issue is that chunks in scribble/lp don't get registered as run by cover. Perhaps the issue is that the code that gets run has had its source locations stripped by one of scribble/lp's macros?

Research direction

Start by reading the scribble/lp implementation and the linked cover issue 91. Trace how chunks are registered and run, checking whether source locations are lost through scribble/lp macros. Done means source locations propagate correctly and cover recognizes the chunks as executed.
