[issue42693] "if 0:" lines are traced; they didn't use to be

[Benjamin Peterson]

Benjamin Peterson <benjamin at python.org> added the comment:

Maybe sys.settrace() is not ultimately the best tool for coverage reporting? If the bytecode compiler natively supported coverage instrumentation, source semantics would be easier to respect. A nice implementation could use Knuth & Stevenson "Optimal measurement of points for program frequency counts".
