[TIP] Coverage + nose, suppress printing of coverage information

[Eric Larson]

Hey Ned,

I might give that a shot. Your comment also got me thinking that I could
make my own custom nose plugin that utilizes your module without making the
report() command that the built-in one does. That solution might work
better for the projects I have in mind -- but in either case, thanks for
the quick response!

Cheers,
Eric
