Yes, and that's exactly what I'm no fan of ;-) In a realistic situation
you'd really want to understand what is being used where - the fact that
a particular method hasn't been touched during a particular run of the
code is just as insignificant as the fact that during a debugging
session you might touch code that isn't even in the product you're
trying to design.
