[TIP] Getting combined coverage with Tox

Hi Randy,

Thanks for your quick response :-)

That repo you linked to is essentially using the same technique, though it
adds a neat way to clear the coverage before running the tests.  As I state
previously, this kind of degenerates when you have multiple explicit
environments as you need to list each of them in the `envlist` setting.

Does anybody on this list have any plans for a built-in pre-/post-command
Tox setting or some kind of a plug-in interface that could allow me to
achieve the same effect without explicitly listing all environments in the
`envlist` setting?

Thanks,

André
