Hi All,

This is Alecsandru from Server Scripting Languages Optimization team at Intel Corporation. I would like to submit a patch that adds extended support for coverage, in the same way that it is used in CPython3. Used in conjunction with the regrtests, it provides a broader view of the hot and cold zones in the interpreter.

Thank you,
Alecsandru

Thank you for the reviews. I've added a new patch (v02) to correct the issues.
