Good suggestion, I will keep that in mind.

Yes end is a problem,  also when one initializes an array spanning over 
multiple lines. The original coverage code didn't deal with this, and I
have no clue how to extend it so its capable of doing so.
Not that I didn't tried, but it seems as #trace_var doesn't deal with it.

If anyone has an idea how to extend the original coverage to do this, then
please submit a few hints on how to do it.
