A bugfix and a feature (Score:1)

I would like defined($obj) to not trigger $obj's "" overloading. In normal perl, defined($obj) won't call $obj's "" overloading. In Devel::Cover enhanced perl, defined($obj) will.

I would also like to be able to mark some branches as "This should never happen."

This is something I've long wanted to do -- but, regrettably, I can't fly across the pond to participate.
Devel::Cover's documentation is (in Paul's own words) "sparse" and could really stand some improvement. May I suggest that in preparation for the hackathon, people review the perl.qa mailing list and otherwise google to collate all of Paul's (excellent) responses to questions over the years.

  And since we're on the subject of Devel::Cover-related postings on perl.qa, does anyone have ideas about the subject I raised there http://tinyurl.com/q5yd8 [tinyurl.com] two days ago?
  Thanks
